3. Use keyword arguments to distinguish two different ways of calling the enum class: MyEnum(value = 1) --> lookup by value MyEnum(name = "foo") --> lookup by name MyEnum(1) could be made equivalent to MyEnum(value = 1) if it's thought that lookup by value will be the most common or natural case. Pros: Explicit is better than implicit. Cons: Not so convenient to get a type-conversion function to pass to other things. -- Greg _______________________________________________ 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
