[New-bugs-announce] [issue44242] enum.IntFlag regression: missing values cause TypeError

[Miro Hrončok]

New submission from Miro Hrončok <miro at hroncok.cz>:

With the change introduced in https://bugs.python.org/issue38250 https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/7aaeb2a3d682ecba125c33511e4b4796021d2f82 I observe a regression in behavior of enum.IntFlag with missing values.

Consider this code (from pyproj):

    from enum import IntFlag

    class GeodIntermediateFlag(IntFlag):
        DEFAULT = 0x0

        NPTS_MASK = 0xF
        NPTS_ROUND = 0x0
        NPTS_CEIL = 0x1
        NPTS_TRUNC = 0x2
         
        DEL_S_MASK = 0xF0
        DEL_S_RECALC = 0x00
        DEL_S_NO_RECALC = 0x10
      
        AZIS_MASK = 0xF00
        AZIS_DISCARD = 0x000
        AZIS_KEEP = 0x100

This is a valid code in Python 3.9, however produces a TypeError in Python 3.10.0b1:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "intflag.py", line 3, in <module>
        class GeodIntermediateFlag(IntFlag):
      File "/usr/lib64/python3.10/enum.py", line 544, in __new__
        raise TypeError(
    TypeError: invalid Flag 'GeodIntermediateFlag' -- missing values: 4, 8, 32, 64, 128, 512, 1024, 2048


Since I don't see this behavior mentioned in https://docs.python.org/3.10/library/enum.html or https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html or https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/changelog.html I believe this is a regression.
