Example enumeration: class Seasons(Enum): SPRING = 1 SUMMER = 2 AUTUMN = 3 WINTER = 4 days_in_year = 365 @property def avg_temp(self): return (75, 92, 66, 33)[int(self)+1] # enums are 1-based Definite Issues: - should enum items be of the type of the Enum class? (i.e. type(SPRING) is Seasons) - should an enum item be selectable via __call__ instead of __getitem__ (i.e. Seasons(3) is AUTUMN) - should days_in_year be enumerated? - should avg_temp be enumerated? - for the above two, how should they be included/excluded?
