Enum member, instead of the value of enum member, is given the type of the actual class

[chazeon]

Steps to reproduce

The result is from VSCode's pylint, writing a singleton with the assistance of Enum, is the recommended way of writing singleton pattern by PEP 484:

class TestClass:
    def hello(self):
        return "Hello!"

class TestClassSingleton(enum.Enum):
    test_object = TestClass()

def get_test_object():
    return TestClassSingleton.test_object.value

test_class_instance = get_test_object()

print(test_class_instance.hello())

This code correctly prints Hello!.

Current behavior

• The test_class_instance is of type “method 'value'”, and any call to it would result in E1101.
• TestClassSingleton.test_object is of type TestClass

Expected behavior

• The TestClassSingleton.test_object should be of class TestClassSingleton.
• The test_class_instance should be of type TestClass.

I don't quite get what this issue is about. Where do you get these errors from, from pylint? If I run pylint at command line using the example you provided I get no errors. Can you paste a screenshot with the exact output you're getting from VSCode?

Hi @PCManticore, I've updated it with screenshots and updated the code and description a little bit.

Thanks, now it makes more sense!

Closing because it cannot be reproduced in the latest pylint.
