New submission from CliffM:
Given that enumeration members are Singletons, can we not rely on the default
__eq__() method ? (FWIW the existing tests all pass if you delete it)
This might be confusing for a reader later, so needs documenting. Although I
think it should be documented (in enum.py) either way.
Maybe also add a singletoness test ?
def test_singleton(self):
class A(Enum):
X=1
Y=2
self.assertTrue(id(A.X)==id(A.X))
Of course there is good chance that there is a test-case I have not thought of
that will defeat this. I am thinking about :
a) weak-ref handling of Enums
b) unpickling, say by a user of the ZODB
Which might break the singletonicity. ?? Any offers ??
