Yes, it could be the value of my property in any currency :) But your argument is wrong. There's no logical or even aesthetical reason to have empty enums. An empty set is an instance of the set type like 0 or your big number are instances of the integer type and are neccessary to make some operations complete. But an empty enum is a *type* without values, therefore a type that cannot be instantiated i.e. a useless type. I don't like Python enums at all. It is kind of "I want to have that C++ thing, too". In Python enums can be emulated so there's no need to have syntactical support for them. Peter Maas, Aachen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
