I suppose the other option is to have
.valuebe whatever was assigned (1, 'really big country', and (8273.199, 517) ),I thought that was the intention all along, and that we'd given up on the idea of auto-assigning integer values (because it would require either new syntax or extremely dark magic). Yes, Guido rejected the auto-numbering syntax a while back. The only case in which auto-numbering occurs (per PEP 435) is the "convenience syntax": Animal = Enum('Animal', 'fox dog cat')
Actually, since Guido has pronounced that definition order will be the default, there's no reason each Enum instance couldn't have an "ordinal" attribute.
