It lets you define enumerations\u2014sets of symbolic names bound to constant values\u2014that can be compared by identity, iterated, and looked up by name or value. The package provides the same Enum class and API as the standard library, so code written against it works identically to code using the built-in enum in modern Python.\n\nThis package was essential when Python 3.4 was new and many projects still supported Python 2.7 or early Python 3 releases. Today, it serves primarily as a dependency for legacy codebases that cannot upgrade. Since Python 2 and 3.3 are no longer supported by the Python community, and the package itself has not been maintained since 2020, installing it is rarely justified except to satisfy constraints in very old projects.","worth_installing":"No, unless you are actively maintaining a legacy codebase locked to Python 2 or early Python 3. The package is abandoned, targets obsolete Python versions, and the enum module is now built into all supported Python releases. Modern projects should use the standard library enum directly."},"id":"enum34","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/enum34","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/enum34.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/enum34/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-03-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"enum34","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Python 3.4 Enum backported to 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, and 2.4"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":9312551,"position":1547,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.10"}
