sting to list of enums

[Josef Kleber]

Hi,

I need to configure a script with a command line switch and/or
environment variable (-> string) to a list of enums. I found the
following to work:

from enum import Enum

class Provider(Enum):
    NONE = 0, ''
    Amazon = 40, 'Amazon'
    Netflix = 42, 'Netflix'
    SkyTicket = 104, 'Sky Ticket'
    AmazonChannels = 140, 'Amazon Channels'
    Disney = 176, 'Disney+'

    def __new__(cls, value, name):
        member = object.__new__(cls)
        member._value_ = value
        member.fullname = name
        return member

    def __int__(self):
        return self.value

    def __str__(self):
        return self.fullname

providers = []
test = "Amazon, AmazonChannels, Netflix, Disney, SkyTicket"

for t in test.split(','):
    providers.append(Provider[t.strip()])

print(providers)

I would prefer a more direct input string like "Provider.Amazon,
Provider.Netfilx" Any idea?

Or even a better way from cli option to enum list?
