If the re flags were implemented as instances of object instead of int, then misuse of them as int args would be excepted. I don't know if such a change would otherwise cause a problem. I wonder whether a subclass of object (EnumSet?) that allowed for initialization with a better string representation and that disabled order comparisons would fill the bill for unordered enum. As Steven Bethard also noted, there seem to be a need for two Enum subclasses: EnumSet and EnumSeq. Terry Jan Reedy -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
