Maybe you should have tried with the latest version of the reference
implementation, where Ethan kindly fixed the reference implementation to
work better with NamedInt (per my thread "ref impl disc 2") and
apparently also with the above class's __new__...

Why not? For classes derived from Enum, having __new__, the value/tuple
assigned to the enumeration member becomes the set of parameters to
__new__... so why would you want to provide a parameter? Well, you
could, with a minor tweak. If you don't like Ethan's AutoNumber class,
you can now write your own, like the following one that I derived from
his, but to use your preferred ...
class AutoNumber(Enum):
def __new__(cls, parm):
obj = object.__new__(cls)
if parm is ...:
value = len(cls.__enum_info__) + 1
obj._value = value
else:
obj._value = parm
return obj
def __int__(self):
return self._value
class Color(AutoNumber):
red = ...
green = ...
blue = 7
purple = ...
print ( Color.red, repr( Color.red ))
print ( Color.green, repr( Color.green ))
print ( Color.blue, repr( Color.blue ))
print ( Color.purple, repr( Color.purple ))
Since you want to provide a parameter, I decided in my example
AutoNumber class that I would use ... as a flag to use his count, and
anything else would be an actual value for the enumeration member. You
could do whatever else you like, of course, should you write your own,
including using someone's suggested itertools.count()
