Welcome to enum_mate Documentation

enum_mate is a Python library that supercharges standard enums by providing explicit, intuitive APIs for validation, retrieval, and type conversion. It introduces BetterIntEnum and BetterStrEnum classes that seamlessly extend Python’s built-in enum functionality with comprehensive methods like get_by_name(), get_by_value(), is_valid_value(), ensure_int(), and ensure_str(). These enhanced enums make input validation, error handling, and enum manipulation more robust and developer-friendly.
