Question for Nick: this behavior is currently in place for stdlib enumerations, and has been since beta 0; are you
saying this change should also be put off to 3.11 ?


I'm not sure what you mean by "this change". I don't think the change to make repr() less informative for IntEnum instances should be done in any version.

I think repr() should continue to show both the symbolic name and the associated numeric value, as it did in 3.9 (I'm not worried about the exact spelling, though, I just don't want to have to find and look up a translation table when debugging).

Did I misunderstand the proposed change for the next beta?

Cheers,
Nick.
