Bad: doctests.

This sounds like a feature request for doctest. doctest could be educated about enums and automatically compare to the integer value for such cases.
Please no. Enums are not special enough to break the rules. Good: "Doctests look at the object's repr." Bad: "Doctests look at an object's repr, unless the object is an Enum, when it will look at the enum's value." If I want a test that checks the enum's value, then I will write a doctest that explicitly checks the enum's value. -- Steven _______** Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev at python.org http://mail.python.org/**mailman/listinfo/python-dev<http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev> Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/ greg%40krypto.org<http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/greg%40krypto.org> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
