  • List of finite choices

  • Enumerations

  • IntEnum

  • Flag

  • IntFlag

11.2.1. SetUp

>>> from enum import Enum, IntEnum

11.2.2. Example

>>> class Select(Enum):
...     OPTION1 = 1
...     OPTION2 = 2

11.2.3. Use Case - 0x01

>>> class HTTPStatus(Enum):
...     OK = 200
...     CREATED = 201
...     BAD_REQUEST = 400
...     NOT_FOUND = 404
...     INTERNAL_ERROR = 500

11.2.4. Use Case - 0x02

>>> class Status(IntEnum):
...     FULL_HEALTH = 100
...     DEAD = 0

>>> hit_points = 100
>>> Status(hit_points)
<Status.FULL_HEALTH: 100>

>>> hit_points = 0
>>> Status(hit_points)
<Status.DEAD: 0>

11.2.5. Use Case - 0x03

>>> class IndexDrives(IntEnum):
...     ControlWord = 0x6040
...     StatusWord = 0x6041
...     OperationMode = 0x6060

11.2.6. Use Case - 0x04

Note, keycodes can vary depending on operating system and programming language used [mskeycodes], [jskeycodes].

>>> int('0x1B', base=16)
27
>>>
>>> hex(27)
'0x1b'

>>> class Key(Enum):
...     ESC = 27            # 0x1B
...     ARROW_LEFT = 37     # 0x25
...     ARROW_UP = 38       # 0x26
...     ARROW_RIGHT = 39    # 0x27
...     ARROW_DOWN = 40     # 0x28

11.2.7. Use Case - 0x05

  • r - read

  • w - write

  • x - execute

  • rwx - read, write, execute; 0b111 == 0o7

  • rw- - read, write; 0b110 == 0o6

  • r-x - read, execute; 0b101 == 0o5

  • r-- - read only; 0b100 == 0o4

  • rwxr-xr-- - user=(read,write,execute); group=(read,execute); others=(read)
