Comparing Enum values in IronPython
In an IronPython script, I'm trying to compare a property (type Grade
) of an object (created in C #) with one of the possible enum values Grade
. For example:
if (myObject.TotalGrade == Grade.Fail):
Now I have set a breakpoint after getting both of these values, and I can actually check that both contain "Fail"; however, the check is not performed and the program proceeds to the next item. Is the python equality operator unusable for C # enums?
More info: I imported an enum Grade
from my C # as shown below.
import clr
clr.AddReferenceToFile("mydll.dll")
from mydll import Grade

As requested, my comment as an answer:
I'm not sure why they wouldn't compare equal, but apparently enums are implemented as nested types in IronPython - it seems you have two different objects for the same enum value in this case.
You can work around this by comparing the base values directly like so:
if myObject.TotalGrade.value__ == Grade.Fail.value__:
pass # your code here...
