"""Implementation of enumerated types.

This module provides the `Enum` class, which can be used to construct
enumerated types.  Those types are defined by providing an *exhaustive
set or list* of possible, named values for a variable of that type.
Enumerated variables of the same type are usually compared between them
for equality and sometimes for order, but are not usually operated upon.

Enumerated values have an associated *name* and *concrete value*.  Every
name is unique and so are concrete values.  An enumerated variable
always takes the concrete value, not its name.  Usually, the concrete
value is not used directly, and frequently it is entirely irrelevant.
For the same reason, an enumerated variable is not usually compared with
concrete values out of its enumerated type.  For that kind of use,
standard variables and constants are more adequate.

[docs]class Enum(object): """Enumerated type. Each instance of this class represents an enumerated type. The values of the type must be declared *exhaustively* and named with *strings*, and they might be given explicit concrete values, though this is not compulsory. Once the type is defined, it can not be modified. There are three ways of defining an enumerated type. Each one of them corresponds to the type of the only argument in the constructor of Enum: - *Sequence of names*: each enumerated value is named using a string, and its order is determined by its position in the sequence; the concrete value is assigned automatically:: >>> boolEnum = Enum(['True', 'False']) - *Mapping of names*: each enumerated value is named by a string and given an explicit concrete value. All of the concrete values must be different, or a ValueError will be raised:: >>> priority = Enum({'red': 20, 'orange': 10, 'green': 0}) >>> colors = Enum({'red': 1, 'blue': 1}) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: enumerated values contain duplicate concrete values: 1 - *Enumerated type*: in that case, a copy of the original enumerated type is created. Both enumerated types are considered equal:: >>> prio2 = Enum(priority) >>> priority == prio2 True Please note that names starting with _ are not allowed, since they are reserved for internal usage:: >>> prio2 = Enum(['_xx']) Traceback (most recent call last): ... ValueError: name of enumerated value can not start with ``_``: '_xx' The concrete value of an enumerated value is obtained by getting its name as an attribute of the Enum instance (see __getattr__()) or as an item (see __getitem__()). This allows comparisons between enumerated values and assigning them to ordinary Python variables:: >>> redv = priority.red >>> redv == priority['red'] True >>> redv > priority.green True >>> priority.red == priority.orange False The name of the enumerated value corresponding to a concrete value can also be obtained by using the __call__() method of the enumerated type. In this way you get the symbolic name to use it later with __getitem__():: >>> priority(redv) 'red' >>> priority.red == priority[priority(priority.red)] True (If you ask, the __getitem__() method is not used for this purpose to avoid ambiguity in the case of using strings as concrete values.)
