Hi,

Can you elaborate on this?

Thanks!

I believe this is what Rahul means:

import enum
class Color(enum.Flag):
    RED = enum.auto()
    BLUE = enum.auto()
    GREEN = enum.auto()

white = Color.RED | Color.BLUE | Color.GREEN
assert white.name is None

#  Note, however that:
assert str(Color.RED | Color.BLUE | Color.GREEN) == "Color.GREEN|BLUE|RED"

I see in the code of _create_pseudo_member_ that _name_ is deliberately set to None, and furthermore in __str__ and __repr__ the fact that it is None is used to determine whether self is a composite (pseudo) or not.

So first question is whether this should be fixed.

If so, I see two options:

1. Establish another way to determine whether self is a composite or not, and change they way _name_ is initialised.

2. Leave _name_ as is, but override name (which currently is defined in Enum and simply returns _name_ but can be redefined to do something else).
