Using Enumerated Types in Python

They do different things but in the wild are used in the same way. Data classes are not immutable so it would not be ideal for what I used named tuples for.

Data classes can be made immutable using ‘frozen=True’. It sucks that it’s not default though.

Can you give an example of how you use enums and named tuples in the same way? That just doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense to me, but maybe I’m missing something.
