The call syntax has been repurposed for the convenience API: --> Animals = Enum('Animals', 'ant bee cat dog') --> Animals <Animals {ant: 1, bee: 2, cat: 3, dog: 4}> --> Animals.ant <EnumValue: Animals.ant [value=1]> --> Animals.ant.value 1 The aforementioned deprecated syntax refers to call with a single arguments (the convenience API by definition requires more than one).
I don't understand why having Enum() be the convenience function rules out Animals(1) from returning Animals.ant.
