I have many times had situations where I had a variable of a certain type, all I cared about it was one of it's methods.
For example: ------------------------------------------------------------ import hashlib hash = hashlib.sha256(b'word') hash = hash.hexdigest() ------------------------------------------------------------ import enum class Number(enum.Enum): One: int = 1 Two: int = 2 Three: int = 3 num = Number.One num = num.value ------------------------------------------------------------ Now to be fair, in the two situations above, I could just access the method right as I declare the object, however, sometimes when passing values into functions, it's a lot messier to do that. So what I'm suggesting is something like this: ------------------------------------------------------------ import hashlib hash = hashlib.sha256(b'word') hash.=hexdigest() ------------------------------------------------------------ import enum class Number(enum.Enum): One: int = 1 Two: int = 2 Three: int = 3 num = Number.One num.=value ------------------------------------------------------------ -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
