Doc/library/enum.rst:314: >>> Animals = Enum('Animals', 'ant bee cat dog', module=__name__) Moved, and reworded: Pickling enums created with the functional API can be tricky as frame stack implementation details are used to try and figure out which module the enumeration is being created in (e.g. it will fail if you use a utility function in separate module, and also may not work on IronPython or Jython). The solution is to specify the module name explicitly as follows:: http://bugs.python.org/review/17947/diff/8339/Doc/library/enum.rst#newcode33... Doc/library/enum.rst:337: A variation of :class:`Enum` is proposed which is also a subclass of Done. http://bugs.python.org/review/17947/diff/8339/Doc/library/enum.rst#newcode42... Doc/library/enum.rst:423: One frequent request is to not have to specify values for enum members:: Major rewrite: Interesting examples ==================== While :class:`Enum` and :class:`IntEnum` are expected to cover the majority of use-cases, they cannot cover them all. Here are recipes for some different types of enumerations that can be used directly, or as examples for creating one's own. AutoNumber ---------- Avoids having to specify the value for each enumeration member:: . . . UniqueEnum ---------- Raises an error if a duplicate member name is found instead of creating an alias:: . . . OrderedEnum ----------- An ordered enumeration that is not based on :class:`IntEnum` and so maintains the normal :class:`Enum` invariants (such as not being comparable to other enumerations):: . . . Planet ------ If :meth:`__new__` or :meth:`__init__` is defined the value of the enum member will be passed to those methods:: http://bugs.python.org/review/17947/diff/8339/Lib/test/test_enum.py File Lib/test/test_enum.py (right): http://bugs.python.org/review/17947/diff/8339/Lib/test/test_enum.py#newcode4...
