Oh my! ;) So, after the previous discussion about when __contains__ should raise TypeError instead of returning False, it seems there are a couple cases where a TypeError should be raised now: 1) non-enum-instance in EnumClass 2) anything in enum_instance 3) non-flag-instance in flag instance (1) can be True/False if an Enum instance is checked for; (2) should (and does already) always raise TypeError; (3) can be True/False when a Flag instance is checked for in another flag instance. I suspect these are corner cases, and infrequently, if ever, being used incorrectly now, but I would rather have a deprecation period in 3.7 instead of just changing in 3.8 to TypeErrors. To that end I have a PR [1] readay, and would appreciate any review, thoughts, and/or comments. -- ~Ethan~ [1] https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/6392
