This package provides several enumeration classes, which extends the default Enum class with various functionalities. For each enumeration class, its enumeration item's value is a customised tuple type generated by namedtuple from collections package.

Quick Start
-----------

Enumeration Creation

There are two ways to create an enumeration.

Use the provided enumeration classes ExtendedEnum, LabeledEnum, PairEnum to declare your enumeration.

.. code-block:: python

from named_enum import ExtendedEnum, LabeledEnum, PairEnum

class TVCouple(ExtendedEnum): GALLAGHERS = ("FRANK", "MONICA") MIKE_AND_MOLLY = ("Mike", "Molly")

class NBALegendary(LabeledEnum): JOHNSON = ("Johnson", "Magic Johnson") JORDAN = ("Jordan", "Air Jordan")

class Pair(PairEnum): TOM_AND_JERRY = ("Tom", "Jerry") BULLS = ("Micheal", "Pippen")
Customise your own enumeration class and use it to define the enumeration.
1. Create a new enumeration class
- Inherit from class NamedEnum
  
  .. code-block:: python
  
  from named_enum import NamedEnum
  
  class TripleEnum(NamedEnum): """using a sequence of strings to define the field names""" field_names = ("first", "second", "third")
- Use function namedenum
  
  .. code-block:: python
  
  from named_enum import namedenum
  
  using a sequence of strings to define the field names
  
  TripleEnum = namedenum("TripleEnum", ("first", "second", "third"))
  
  using a comma/space separated string to define the field names
  
  TripleEnum = namedenum("LabelEnum", "key, label")
1. Create enumeration using the customized enumeration class in last step.
  
  .. code-block:: python
```
class AnimationFamily(TripleEnum):
    SIMPSONS = ("Homer", "Bart", "Marge")
    DUCKS = ("Huey", "Dewey", "Louie")
```

Usages

+ ``names(as_tuple=True)``
    ``as_tuple=True``: returns the names of all enumeration items as a tuple.

    .. code-block:: python

      >>> AnimationFamily.names()
      ('SIMPSONS', 'DUCKS')

    ``as_tuple=False``: returns a generator of the names of all enumeration items.

    .. code-block:: python

      # ExtendedEnum
      >>> tuple(TVCouple.gen(name_value_pair=False))
      (<TVCouple.GALLAGHERS: ('FRANK', 'MONICA')>, <TVCouple.MIKE_AND_MOLLY: ('Mike', 'Molly')>)

+ ``as_dict()``
    returns a dictionary, in which the key is the enumeration item's name and the value is the item's value

    .. code-block:: python

      # TripleEnum
      >>> AnimationFamily.as_dict()
      {'SIMPSONS': NamedTuple(first='Homer', second='Bart', third='Marge'), 'DUCKS': NamedTuple(first='Huey', second='Dewey', third='Louie')}

      ('Magic Johnson', 'Air Jordan')

    ``as_tuple=False``: returns a generator of all corresponding values of the field in enumeration items

    .. code-block:: python

      # TripleEnum
      >>> isinstance(AnimationFamily.firsts(as_tuple=False), GeneratorType)
