@slide in .NET you can't just assign a numeric value to an enum. You have to make an explicit cast for a good reason. The most pythonic way I see this could work isFooEnum(42). Implicit conversion is a bad idea.

That's true, it does require the typecast. This only allows assignment/coercion when the underlying type is assignable, is that still too lenient?

@slide oh, I checked the code ofToEnum and it seems problematic on its own. I think what you will find is thatIsAssignableFrom will succeed in most cases.

I actually think Python.NET should have required an explicit cast from the beginning, and should not have converted enum values to Pythonint, which we have an opportunity to fix given 3.0 is a major version bump. I'd definitely take a PR, that would make that change.

Summoning@filmor into conversation.

Ok, thanks, I'll see if I can work on something like that.
