Get List of all Enum values

Iterate over all entries in Enum in a List Comprehension. For each entry in enum, select its value property during iteration, to get the value field of each entry of enum. The List comprehension will return a list of all values of the Emum.

Let’s see the complete example,

from enum import Enum

class ChannelStatus(Enum):
    IDE =1
    ACTIVE = 2
    BLOCKED = 3
    WAITING = 4
    CLOSED = 5

# Get list of all enum values in Python
enumValues = [statusMem.value for statusMem in ChannelStatus]

print (enumValues)

Output

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Get Names of all entries in Enum

Iterate over all entries in Enum using a List Comprehension. During iteration, for each entry in enum, access its name property, to get the name field of that entry in enum. The List comprehension will return a list of all names of all entries in Emum.

Let’s see the complete example,

from enum import Enum

class ChannelStatus(Enum):
    IDE =1
    ACTIVE = 2
    BLOCKED = 3
    WAITING = 4
    CLOSED = 5

# Get list of names of all enum values in Python
enumValueNames = [statusMem.name for statusMem in ChannelStatus]

print (enumValueNames)

Output

['IDE', 'ACTIVE', 'BLOCKED', 'WAITING', 'CLOSED']

Get name/value pairs of all entries in Enum

Iterate over all entries in Enum using for loop, and for each enum entry, access its name and value properties to get the details. In the belowe example, we have printed all the names and value of all entries in the enum, one by one.

Let’s see the complete example,

from enum import Enum

class ChannelStatus(Enum):
    IDE =1
    ACTIVE = 2
    BLOCKED = 3
    WAITING = 4
    CLOSED = 5

# iterate over all entries of name, and print
# name, value of each entry in enum
for status in ChannelStatus:
    print("Name : ", status.name, " :: Value : ", status.value)

Output

Name :  IDE  :: Value :  1
Name :  ACTIVE  :: Value :  2
Name :  BLOCKED  :: Value :  3
Name :  WAITING  :: Value :  4
Name :  CLOSED  :: Value :  5
