[New-bugs-announce] [issue41786] re.RegexFlag.__str__ is incorrect

[Ethan Furman]

New submission from Ethan Furman <ethan at stoneleaf.us>:

In issue36548 - Make the repr of re flags more readable - __str__ is set to object.__str__.  Hovewer, setting __str__ to object.__str__ means that EnumMeta will replace __str__ with the first Enum's __str__ instead (Flag, in this case).

As asked in issue40066: do we want the str() and repr() to be the same, or should the str() be the plain numeric value?
