Ethan Furman added the comment: How about this note after the AutoNumber example?
.. note:: The :meth:`__new__` method, if defined, is used during creation of the Enum members; it is then replaced by Enum's :meth:`__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 :meth:`__new__`. ---------- nosy: +barry, eli.bendersky stage: -> patch review _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
