I think Eric is overinterpreting the spec, there. While that particular sentence requires that the empty format string will be equivalent to a plain str() operation for builtin types, it is only a recommendation for other types. For enums, I believe they should be formatted like their base types (so !s and !r will show the enum name, anything without coercion will show the value) . Cheers, Nick. I could agree with the above for IntEnum, but Enum doesn't have a "base type", it has a contained type, no? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
