enum.EnumMeta renaming #93064
Description
Activity
My apologies for the extra work. I renamed it (and kept the old name as an alias) because I personally found it confusing when working with enums to have, for example,
SelectionEnumbe of typeEnumMetaand notEnumType.The change is not gratuitous.
#22392 renamed the
enum.EnumMetametaclass toenum.EnumType. This originally went into 3.10 and was reverted (#27010), but remained on 3.11.The renaming caused some problems for me with introspection code that looks at the name of classes to find their stubs (quora/pyanalyze#537).
I don't see anything wrong with the old name (
EnumMeta). Could we return to theEnumMetaname to avoid gratuitously making upgrades harder?cc @ethanfurman for enum
