If enum were provisional it would be okay, but since it isn't, I think<br>
this change can't go into 3.5.2. Think if this: could any code that<br>
works in 3.5.1 be broken by the change?<br>

No, but with the change code that works in 3.5.2 could break in 3.5.1 or 3.5.0.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's bad too (and it's one reason why we're generally strict about the "no new features in bugfix releases" rule.<br></div><div>Â </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
It's a 2/3 compatibility issue with enum34 and aenum which support _order_, and Python3.4+ which does not. The work-around is to use __order__ instead (or use enum34 or aenum instead ;) .<br>
<br>
Either way, it's only similarity to a bug is I should have named it _order_ in the beginning, and put the compatibility shim into the stdlib version at the same time.<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I think it's a case of water under the bridge and learning to live with your mistakes.<br clear="all"></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">--Guido van Rossum (<a href="http://python.org/~guido" target="_blank">python.org/~guido</a>)</div>
