Eric V. Smith added the comment:
I think IntEnum should act like a str for format() purposes. After all, having
a useful string representation is a prime reason it exists. If you want it to
act like a str() sometimes, and an int() at others, you're going to have to
parse the format specifier and figure out what to do. It might be as easy as:
def __format__(self, fmt):
if len(fmt) >= 1 and fmt[-1] in 'oOxXdD':
# treat like an int
return format(self.value, fmt)
else:
# treat like a string
format(str(self), fmt)
But I haven't completely thought it through or tested it.
Or, couldn't we just say it's always str, and if you want to treat it like an
int then use .value?
