I'm also confused about what you are trying to achieve here. Note that: assert Entries.ENTRY1.value.a == 1 should work. But my main thought is that dataclasses are really just a way to auto-generate classes without having to write a bunch of boilerplate. So you example above is equivalent to: class Foo: def __init__(self, a=0): self.a = a Which behaves the same way when used the same way with Enum. So why should dataclasses be special in this particular way? -CHB -- Christopher Barker, PhD (Chris) Python Language Consulting - Teaching - Scientific Software Development - Desktop GUI and Web Development - wxPython, numpy, scipy, Cython
