Re: [Python-Dev] Minor change to Enum -- should it go into 3.5.2?

If enum were provisional it would be okay, but since it isn't, I think this change can't go into 3.5.2. Think if this: could any code that works in 3.5.1 be broken by the change?

No, but with the change code that works in 3.5.2 could break in 3.5.1 or 3.5.0. It's a 2/3 compatibility issue with enum34 and aenum which support _order_, and Python3.4+ which does not. The work-around is to use __order__ instead (or use enum34 or aenum instead ;) . Either way, it's only similarity to a bug is I should have named it _order_ in the beginning, and put the compatibility shim into the stdlib version at the same time. -- ~Ethan~
