[Enum] Exception being ignored in custom datatypes

[ethanfurman]

import enum

class Base:
    def __init__(self, x):
        print('In Base init')
        raise ValueError("I don't like", x)

class MyEnum(Base, enum.Enum):
    A = 'a'
    def __init__(self, y):
        print('In MyEnum init')
        self.y = y

MyEnum should not be created because of the exception in Base.__init__.

Just tested this - MyEnum is indeed not created and the ValueError is raised.

import enum

class Base:
    def __init__(self, x):
        print('In Base init')
        raise ValueError("I don't like", x)

class MyEnum(Base, enum.Enum):
    A = 'a'
    def __init__(self, y):
        print('In MyEnum init')
        self.y = y

MyEnum(1)

Output

In Base init
In MyEnum init
Traceback (most recent call last):

    MyEnum(1)

    return cls.__new__(cls, value)

What behaviour are you describing that's a bug?

[ethanfurman]

MyEnum should not have been created in the first place. The behavior in the patch I'm working on:

import enum

class Base:
    def __init__(self, x):
        print('In Base init')
        raise ValueError("I don't like", x)

class MyEnum(Base, enum.Enum):
    A = 'a'
    def __init__(self, y):
        print('In MyEnum init')
        self.y = y

and

In Base init
