[Python-Dev] Re: Enum._convert should change __repr__ and/or __str__ to use module name instead of class name

An important point I should have included -- the definition of AddressFamily: IntEnum._convert_( 'AddressFamily', __name__, lambda C: C.isupper() and C.startswith('AF_') ) That last line is filtering the globals from `__name__`* to make the Enum -- in other words, the member names are already globally unique. Every usage of `Enum._convert` is like that. -- ~Ethan~ * `__name__` is the module name, which is looked up in `sys.modules`.
