enum_union

[rtviii]

This gives me a lot of headaches with serialization (value != name of the enum members), but is a really good sell in organizing the PolymerTypes. What is the essential functionality of it over the vanilla python Enum? Can is be replaced? Trying with pydantic.Enum.

[rtviii]

members=  [*map( lambda x: x.value, [*Polynucleotide] )]
print(members)
x = "5SrRNA" in members
print(x)

['mt12SrRNA', 'mt16SrRNA', '5SrRNA', '16SrRNA']
True

TODO : Investigate whether enum_union can be rewritten in terms of pydantic.RootModel

[rtviii]

the serialiazation solution for now is

    @field_serializer('nomenclature')
    def serialize_dt(self, nomenclature:list[PolymerClass], _info):
        return [x.name for x in nomenclature]
        ```

It's been a good run of reckless arrogance and folly, but enum.StrEnum ships with python3.11 so there is no reason to indulge in this masochism any further

• Replace with enum.StrEnum
