Cannot get suggested enum value

Question

I'm studying about Python using pyDev and realized that when I have an Enum and want to use a value of it, pyDev does not suggest which value to use. For example:

weapon = Enum("Weapon", "sword hammer axe")

print(weapon.sword)

it does not suggest sword after weapon., and neither other values. What should I do?

Answer 1

Thank you for your answers. I found what I wanted in enum documentation. Having a AutoNumber class that extends Enum and numerates automatically overriding new().

class AutoNumber(Enum):

    def __new__(cls):
        value = len(cls.__members__) + 1
        obj = object.__new__(cls)
        obj._value_ = value
        return obj

class Color(AutoNumber):
    red = ()
    green = ()
    blue = ()

print (Color.green.value == 2)
>>> True

For the short-term use the class syntax.

For the long-term ask the PyDev folks to support the Enum() style.
