Enum module supporting sequence, bitmask, and string enumerations

Yet Another Enumerator is an enum module that supports three different types of enumerations:

• sequence enums (0, 1, 2, 3, etc.)

• base 2 bitmask enums (0, 1, 2, 4, 8, etc.)

• string enums (‘top’,’bottom’,’left’,’right’, etc.)

Each Enumeration is its own class, with instances of that class being singletons. Besides being a value, enum instances can also have their own behavior (use case, anyone?).

Creating an enum is as simple as:

from yaenum import Enum, BitMaskEnum, UniqueEnum, enum

Enum.create('Color', 'red green blue', export=globals())

or:

class Color(BitMaskEnum):       # python 3+ only
    black
    red
    green
    blue

and if that’s too magical for you:

class Color(BitMaskEnum):
    black = enum()              # python 2: enum(value=0) etc.
    red   = enum()
    green = enum()
    blue  = enum()
