SR 354 Enumerations in Python Finney Rejected; not enough interest, not sufficiently Pythonic.
I have a competing proposal for enumerations which I just haven't gotten around to spec'ing out yet. Check the the cheeseshop for the 'munepy' package if you're interested (mune == enum backwards, since 'enum' was already taken).
Guido, can you tell me whether the concept of enums for Python is being rejected, or this specific proposal? My proposal would be quite different, and I think, more Pythonic. Should I bother submitting a PEP?
That's really up to the rest of the community. If their response to your proposal is going to be as lackluster as to PEP 354, don't bother. Perhaps you can test the waters on python-ideas or c.l.py. -- --Guido van Rossum (home page: http://www.python.org/~guido/)
