Hello, I'm using python 3.4.2 and pylint 1.5.2. Pylint is printing a r:redefined-variable-type warning when I use a variable of type enum. The following script demonstrates the problem: from enum import Enum class MyEnum(Enum): Value1 = 1 Value2 = 2 myEnum = MyEnum.Value1 print("my enum is {}".format(myEnum)) # Huh? this line generates # warning R0204: Redefinition of myEnum type from EnumRepro.MyEnum.Value1 to # EnumRepro.MyEnum.Value2 [R:redefined-variable-type] myEnum = MyEnum.Value2 # this generates print("my enum is {}".format(myEnum)) Is this expected? At the moment I'm just disabling R0204 at the code locations that produce the problem ... I'm new to python, so perhaps I'm just doing something dim. Thanks!
