In the vast majority of use-cases, one doesn't care what -the actual value of an enumeration is. But if the value *is* important, -enumerations can have arbitrary values. - -Enumerations are Python classes, and can have methods and special methods as -usual. If we have this enumeration:: - - >>> class Mood(Enum): - ... funky = 1 - ... happy = 3 - ... - ... def describe(self): - ... # self is the member here - ... return self.name, self.value - ... - ... def __str__(self): - ... return 'my custom str! {0}'.format(self.value) - ... - ... @classmethod - ... def favorite_mood(cls): - ... # cls here is the enumeration - ... return cls.happy - -Then:: - - >>> Mood.favorite_mood() - <Mood.happy: 3> - >>> Mood.happy.describe() - ('happy', 3) - >>> str(Mood.funky) - 'my custom str! 1' - -The rules for what is allowed are as follows: _sunder_ names (starting and -ending with a single underscore) are reserved by enum and cannot be used; -all other attributes defined within an enumeration will become members of this -enumeration, with the exception of *__dunder__* names and descriptors (methods -are also descriptors). - -Note: - - If your enumeration defines ``__new__`` and/or ``__init__`` then - whatever value(s) were given to the enum member will be passed into - those methods. See `Planet`_ for an example. - - -Restricted subclassing of enumerations --------------------------------------- - -Subclassing an enumeration is allowed only if the enumeration does not define -any members. So this is forbidden:: - - >>> class MoreColor(Color): - ... pink = 17 - Traceback (most recent call last): - ... - TypeError: Cannot extend enumerations - -But this is allowed:: - - >>> class Foo(Enum): - ... def some_behavior(self): - ... pass - ... - >>> class Bar(Foo): - ... happy = 1 - ... sad = 2 - ... - -Allowing subclassing of enums that define members would lead to a violation of -some important invariants of types and instances. On the other hand, it makes -sense to allow sharing some common behavior between a group of enumerations. -(See `OrderedEnum`_ for an example.) - - -Pickling --------- - -Enumerations can be pickled and unpickled:: - - >>> from enum.test_enum import Fruit - >>> from pickle import dumps, loads - >>> Fruit.tomato is loads(dumps(Fruit.tomato, 2)) - True - -The usual restrictions for pickling apply: picklable enums must be defined in -the top level of a module, since unpickling requires them to be importable -from that module. - -Note: - - With pickle protocol version 4 (introduced in Python 3.4) it is possible - to easily pickle enums nested in other classes. - - - -Functional API --------------- - -The ``Enum`` class is callable, providing the following functional API:: - - >>> Animal = Enum('Animal', 'ant bee cat dog') - >>> Animal - <enum 'Animal'> - >>> Animal.ant - <Animal.ant: 1> - >>> Animal.ant.value - 1 - >>> list(Animal) - [<Animal.ant: 1>, <Animal.bee: 2>, <Animal.cat: 3>, <Animal.dog: 4>] - -The semantics of this API resemble ``namedtuple``. The first argument -of the call to ``Enum`` is the name of the enumeration. - -The second argument is the *source* of enumeration member names. It can be a -whitespace-separated string of names, a sequence of names, a sequence of -2-tuples with key/value pairs, or a mapping (e.g. dictionary) of names to -values. The last two options enable assigning arbitrary values to -enumerations; the others auto-assign increasing integers starting with 1. A -new class derived from ``Enum`` is returned. In other words, the above -assignment to ``Animal`` is equivalent to:: - - >>> class Animals(Enum): - ... ant = 1 - ... bee = 2 - ... cat = 3 - ... dog = 4 - -Pickling enums created with the functional API can be tricky as frame stack -implementation details are used to try and figure out which module the -enumeration is being created in (e.g. it will fail if you use a utility -function in separate module, and also may not work on IronPython or Jython). -The solution is to specify the module name explicitly as follows:: - - >>> Animals = Enum('Animals', 'ant bee cat dog', module=__name__) - -Derived Enumerations --------------------- - -IntEnum -^^^^^^^ - -A variation of ``Enum`` is provided which is also a subclass of -``int``. Members of an ``IntEnum`` can be compared to integers; -by extension, integer enumerations of different types can also be compared -to each other:: - - >>> from enum import IntEnum - >>> class Shape(IntEnum): - ... circle = 1 - ... square = 2 - ... - >>> class Request(IntEnum): - ... post = 1 - ... get = 2 - ... - >>> Shape == 1 - False - >>> Shape.circle == 1 - True - >>> Shape.circle == Request.post - True - -However, they still can't be compared to standard ``Enum`` enumerations:: - - >>> class Shape(IntEnum): - ... circle = 1 - ... square = 2 - ... - >>> class Color(Enum): - ... red = 1 - ... green = 2 - ... - >>> Shape.circle == Color.red - False - -``IntEnum`` values behave like integers in other ways you'd expect:: - - >>> int(Shape.circle) - 1 - >>> ['a', 'b', 'c'][Shape.circle] - 'b' - >>> [i for i in range(Shape.square)] - [0, 1] - -For the vast majority of code, ``Enum`` is strongly recommended, -since ``IntEnum`` breaks some semantic promises of an enumeration (by -being comparable to integers, and thus by transitivity to other -unrelated enumerations). It should be used only in special cases where -there's no other choice; for example, when integer constants are -replaced with enumerations and backwards compatibility is required with code -that still expects integers. - - -Others -^^^^^^ - -While ``IntEnum`` is part of the ``enum`` module, it would be very -simple to implement independently:: - - class IntEnum(int, Enum): - pass - -This demonstrates how similar derived enumerations can be defined; for example -a ``StrEnum`` that mixes in ``str`` instead of ``int``. - -Some rules: - -1. When subclassing ``Enum``, mix-in types must appear before - ``Enum`` itself in the sequence of bases, as in the ``IntEnum`` - example above. -2. While ``Enum`` can have members of any type, once you mix in an - additional type, all the members must have values of that type, e.g. - ``int`` above. This restriction does not apply to mix-ins which only - add methods and don't specify another data type such as ``int`` or - ``str``. -3. When another data type is mixed in, the ``value`` attribute is *not the - same* as the enum member itself, although it is equivalant and will compare - equal. -4. %-style formatting: ``%s`` and ``%r`` call ``Enum``'s ``__str__`` and - ``__repr__`` respectively; other codes (such as ``%i`` or ``%h`` for - IntEnum) treat the enum member as its mixed-in type. - - Note: Prior to Python 3.4 there is a bug in ``str``'s %-formatting: ``int`` - subclasses are printed as strings and not numbers when the ``%d``, ``%i``, - or ``%u`` codes are used. -5. ``str.__format__`` (or ``format``) will use the mixed-in - type's ``__format__``. If the ``Enum``'s ``str`` or - ``repr`` is desired use the ``!s`` or ``!r`` ``str`` format codes. - - -Decorators ----------- - -unique -^^^^^^ - -A ``class`` decorator specifically for enumerations. It searches an -enumeration's ``__members__`` gathering any aliases it finds; if any are -found ``ValueError`` is raised with the details:: - - >>> @unique - ... class NoDupes(Enum): - ... first = 'one' - ... second = 'two' - ... third = 'two' - Traceback (most recent call last): - ... - ValueError: duplicate names found in <enum 'NoDupes'>: third -> second - - -Interesting examples --------------------- - -While ``Enum`` and ``IntEnum`` are expected to cover the majority of -use-cases, they cannot cover them all. Here are recipes for some different -types of enumerations that can be used directly, or as examples for creating -one's own. - - -AutoNumber -^^^^^^^^^^ - -Avoids having to specify the value for each enumeration member:: - - >>> class AutoNumber(Enum): - ... def __new__(cls): - ... value = len(cls.__members__) + 1 - ... obj = object.__new__(cls) - ... obj._value_ = value - ... return obj - ... - >>> class Color(AutoNumber): - ... __order__ = "red green blue" # only needed in 2.x - ... red = () - ... green = () - ... blue = () - ... - >>> Color.green.value == 2 - True - -Note: - - The `__new__` method, if defined, is used during creation of the Enum - members; it is then replaced by Enum's `__new__` which is used after - class creation for lookup of existing members. Due to the way Enums are - supposed to behave, there is no way to customize Enum's `__new__`. - - -UniqueEnum -^^^^^^^^^^ - -Raises an error if a duplicate member name is found instead of creating an -alias:: - - >>> class UniqueEnum(Enum): - ... def __init__(self, *args): - ... cls = self.__class__ - ... if any(self.value == e.value for e in cls): - ... a = self.name - ... e = cls(self.value).name - ... raise ValueError( - ...
