Hello pydev,
PEP 435 is ready for final review. A lot of the feedback from the last few weeks of discussions has been incorporated. I still would like to see Nick's class-based API preferred over the functional API: class Season(Enum, members='spring summer autumn'): pass The PEP doesn't even mention it, even though you got significant pushback on the proposed getframe() hack for pickling (including mentions that IronPython and Cython may not support it), and nobody seemed to be unhappy with the class-based proposal.
Agreed that the PEP should mention it.
-1 on using it.
We don't need two different ways to use class syntax.
The functional interface is there for two reasons:
to easily create enums dynamically (fairly rare, I'm sure)
to easily create enums when prototyping or at the interactive prompt (I'll use it all the time -- it's convenient! ;)
