can't define two names in the same enum to have the same value, per the PEP.
I think that's too strong a restriction. I would expect to be able to do this: class Insect(Enum): wsap = 1 # Oops, needed for backward compatibility, do not remove. wasp = 1 # Preferred. Use this in new code. bee = 2 ant = 3 Or at the very least: class Insect(Enum): wasp = wsap = 1 bee = 2 ant = 3 I googled on "C enum" and the very first hit includes a duplicate value: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-AU/library/whbyts4t%28v=vs.80%29.aspx And two examples from asm-generic/errno.h: #define EWOULDBLOCK EAGAIN /* Operation would block */ #define EDEADLOCK EDEADLK What's the justification for this restriction? I have looked in the PEP, and didn't see one. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
