[Python-Dev] Documenting enum types (original) (raw)

Hi,

IMO we should not document enum types because Python implementations other than CPython may want to implement them differently (ex: not all Python implementations have an enum module currently). By experience, exposing too many things in the public API becomes a problem later when you want to modify the code.

Should new enum types added recently to collect module constants be documented at all? For example AddressFamily is absent in socket.all [1].
