DynamicClassAttribute is a descriptor defined in Python's Lib/types.py which changes the behaviour of an attribute depending on if it is looked up on the class or on an instance.

Thanks. I was thinking that it'd probably need explaining, and instead of sticking it in the PR, I'll just stick it in a comment straight away. Re: the test failure on 3.10, it looks like the enum module has undergone a fairly extensive re-write. I'll update the tests since I don't think we really care what the value of the ".value" attribute is in a class context |
Ref pylint-dev/pylint#1932. Ref pylint-dev/pylint#2062. The enum.Enum class itself defines two @DynamicClassAttribute data-descriptors "name" and "value" which behave differently when looked up on an instance or on the class. When dealing with inference of an arbitrary instance of the enum class, e.g. in a method defined in the class body like: class SomeEnum(enum.Enum): def method(self): self.name # <- here we should assume that "self.name" is the string name of some enum member, unless the enum itself defines a "name" member.

Improve inference of Enum members called "name" and "value"
Steps
Description
The attributes .name and .value on the enum.Enum are defined as data-descriptors (but not plain
@propertymethods) that behave differently when the attribute access is on the class or an instance. This change updates the enum brain to provide better guesses for values (and appropriate changes if the enum happens to define a member named "name" or "value").Type of Changes
