[FIXED] Pythonic way of storing Enums

Issue

I have an Enum class Station. (I'm using aenum, a library that "extends" python enum, and allows to use enums that have both an integer and a string) This class Station) stores constants, with number and string representation. All fine.

Now, I want to store constant lists of Station objects. What I'm doing works but feels wrong. (I'm kind of new to python / programing.) Does someone have an advice on that ? thank you.

Here is my code :

from typing import List
from aenum import Enum
from abc import ABC


class Station(Enum):
    _init_ = 'value string'

    BASTILLE = 3, 'Bastille'
    LEDRU = 1, 'Ledru Rollin'
    REPU = 10, 'République'
    CHATELET = 2, 'Châtelet les Halles'
    OURCQ = 5, 'Ourcq'
    
    def __str__(self):
        return self.string

    @property
    def nb(self):
        return self.value


class StationEnsemble(ABC):
    name :str
    stations : List[Station]

    @property
    def station_nbs_list(self):
        return [st.nb for st in self.stations]


class RecentStations(StationEnsemble):
    stations = [Station.OURCQ,Station.LEDRU,Station.CHATELET]

class EastStations(StationEnsemble):
    stations=[Station.BASTILLE,Station.OURCQ,Station.CHATELET]

Solution

Using several classes for your lists seems awkward. Why not just write a single class and make the specific lists its instances? This would make the property work (since it needs to be looked up on an instance) also give you a chance to fill in the name attribute you type hinted but never initialized.

class StationEnsemble:
    def __init__(self, name: str, stations: List[Station]):
        self.name = name
        self.stations = stations

    @property
    def station_nbs_list(self):
        return [st.nb for st in self.stations]

RecentStations = StationsEnsemble("recent", [Station.OURCQ, Station.LEDRU, Station.CHATELET])
EastStations = StationsEnsemble("east", [Station.BASTILLE, Station.OURCQ, Station.CHATELET])
