enum Description

Robust enumerated type support in Python enum is a Python libraru that provides a module for robust enumerations in Python.An enumeration object is created with a sequence of string arguments to the Enum() constructor:>>> from enum import Enum>>> Colours = Enum('red', 'blue', 'green')>>> Weekdays = Enum('mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat', 'sun')The return value is an immutable sequence object with a value for each of the string arguments. Each value is also available as an attribute named from the corresponding string argument:>>> pizza_night = Weekdays>>> shirt_colour = Colours.greenThe values are constants that can be compared only with values from the same enumeration; comparison with other values will invoke Python's fallback comparisons:>>> pizza_night == Weekdays.friTrue>>> shirt_colour > Colours.redTrue>>> shirt_colour == "green"FalseEach value from an enumeration exports its sequence index as an integer, and can be coerced to a simple string matching the original arguments used to create the enumeration:>>> str(pizza_night)'fri'>>> shirt_colour.index2 Requirements: · Perl
