While working on a bug in the issue tracker, I came across something that I thought was a little odd around the behaviour of IntEnum. Should the behaviour of an instance of an IntEnum not be symmetric to an int where possible? For example:
>>> class MyEnum(IntEnum): ... FOO = 1 ... >>> MyEnum.FOO == 1 True >>> MyEnum.FOO * 3 == 3 True >>> str(MyEnum.FOO) == str(1) False In my mind, the string representation here should be “1” and not the label. Was this simply an oversight of the specialized IntEnum implementation, or was there a concrete reason for this that I’m not seeing?
