What are advanced features of enumerations in Python?

In Python, enumerations (enums) provide a way to define a set of named values. Advanced features include methods like auto() for automatic value assignment, and the ability to extend enums with custom methods.

Can you explain how to use the auto() function?

Sure! The auto() function automatically assigns values to enum members. For example, if you define an enum with auto(), the first member will be 1, the second will be 2, and so on.

Are there any other methods I can define in an enum?

Yes, you can define custom methods within an enum class. This allows you to add functionality specific to the enum, such as a method that returns a formatted string representation of the enum member.

Can enums be compared or used in conditions?

Absolutely! Enum members can be compared using standard comparison operators. You can use them in conditions just like any other value.
