Instead of adding another single-purpose decorator, I'm toying with the idea of adding a general purpose decorator that accepts instructions. Something along the lines of:
class EnumChecks(StrEnum): """ various conditions to check an enumeration for """ UNIQUE = "one name per value" CONTINUOUS = "no skipped values" DECOMPOSABLE_ALIASES = "flag aliases must have all bits named" def verify(enumeration, *checks): if UNIQUE in checks: # ensure no duplicates if CONTINUOUS in checks: # ensure no missing values if DECOMPOSABLE_ALIASES in checks: # ensure all multi-flag aliases are composed of named flags Thoughts? -- ~Ethan~ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/DVFOYTEPFNUDXWIYS763XGTCWJ6GFL5U/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
