[Python-ideas] IntFlags

[Neil Girdhar]

For what it's worth, I really like your patch.  My suggestion is to change 
a couple dozen lines so that IntFlags uses composition rather than 
inheritance, and provides setattr and getattr.  As far as I can tell, this 
would still be a "drop-in replacement", although I'm still not sure in 
which contexts this has to work.

Best,

Neil
