[Python-Dev] doctest and pickle (original) (raw)

Why are you using is here instead of ==?

I'm using is because I'm verifying that the instance returned by pickle.loads is the exact same object as the instance fed into pickle.dumps. Enum members should be singletons.

I see now. That makes sense, but I don't think you'll be able to do that. "Supposed to be singletons" while at the same time you are holding two instances on the interpreter line. How are you going to manage that?
