Ability for format an Enum to change its format

[vincentbernat]

Hey

If you implement __format__(), you could enable a user to choose between ok(1), ok and 1. Think about it.

Yeah, would be nice to be able to extract ok somehow. Right now this isn't possible at all as far as I can tell, one has to do hacks like e.entity.enum[int(e)].

Have you thought about using Python's native "Enum" or "IntEnum"? That would be an even more Pythonic way :) It's 3.4+, but there is backport in the form of the enum34 package if you still care about such old versions.

We could switch Snimpy to be 3.4+ now.
