So the question now is: for a standard Enum (meaning no other type besides Enum is involved) should __bool__ look to the value of the Enum member to determine True/False, or should we always be True by default and make the Enum creator add their own __bool__ if they want something different?
The latter. I think in general enums are primarily a symbolic value and don't have truthiness. It's also so easy to override when you define the enum that it's not worth changing the current behavior. Cheers, -Barry
