STINNER Victor <vstin...@python.org> added the comment:
The open() function is very commonly used, so modifying it requires a lot of
discussion. In Python, we prefer to discuss such changes ("feature request" if
you want) on python-ideas, rather than on the bug tracker, to get more reviews
and feedback.
open() modes and os.open() modes are very different. IMHO it's ok and simple to
add enums for os.open() modes, but I'm not sure about open() modes which are
strings. I don't think that enum supports mode1 | mode1 if mode values are
strings. Moreover, for backward compatibility, enums should behaves a the str
type. I don't think that it's possible neither, whereas IntEnum would fit
nicely for os.open() modes (integers).
Usability and backward compatibility deserves a long discussion.
Note: there is python-ideas mailing and the Ideas category of
discuss.python.org. I'm not sure which one is preferred.
