PEP 435 (Enums) is Accepted
I have reviewed the latest version of PEP 435 and I see that it is very good. I hereby declare PEP 435 as Accepted. Congratulations go to Barry, Eli and Ethan for pulling it through one of the most thorough reviewing and bikeshedding processes any PEP has seen. Thanks to everyone else for the many review comments. It is a better PEP because of the reviews. Barry or Eli, you can update the PEP's status. (I also expect there will be some copy-editing still.) Ethan: the stdlib implementation should probably be assigned a bug tracker issue (if there isn't one already) and start code review now. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)

Let me echo Guido's thanks to everyone on python-dev and python-ideas, and especially Eli and Ethan. Our ability to come together and produce agreement on not only a contentious, but long wished for, feature shows off the best of our community. Huge thanks also to Guido for the invaluable pronouncements along the way. I can honestly say I'm happy with the results, and the experience of participating. Great work everyone. -Barry

And there was much rejoicing, huzzah! :) As an added bonus, people trying to understand the details of metaclasses will now have a non-trivial standard library example to investigate (we may want to update the language reference at some point to highlight that). Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncoghlan@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia

Hmmm... __prepare__ really isn't doing very much at the moment... I could have it do more... maybe create some kind of little helper class, name it the same as the class being created, and stuff it in the class dict... ;) -- ~Ethan~
