> Is there a better way of handling a three-state flag like this? I think all three states should be created equal. Would a full-blown >>> class State(enum.IntEnum): ... false = False ... true = True ... maybe = 2 ... >>> State.maybe <State.maybe: 2> >>> bool(State.false) False >>> State.true == True True >>> list(State) [<State.false: 0>, <State.true: 1>, <State.maybe: 2>] >>> State(True) <State.true: 1> complicate your actual code? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
