A clear and concise description of the bug

Adding inverted option to enum.Flag brakes logic of enum.
I assume it caused by ambiguous implementation of bitwise NOT in Flag which processes ~value option different inside class scope and outside class scope unlike bitwise OR

import enum

class X(enum.Flag):
 a = enum.auto()
 b = enum.auto()
 c = a | b


assert list(X) == [X.a, X.b]
assert ~X.a == X.b
assert list(~X.a) == [X.b]


class Y(enum.Flag):
 a = enum.auto()
 b = enum.auto()
 c = a | b
 d = ~a # this line brakes the code


assert list(Y) == [Y.a, Y.b]
assert ~Y.a == Y.b # AssertionError
assert list(~Y.a) == [Y.b] # ValueError: -2 is not a positive integer

Cannot reproduce on current main. Seems that this case fixed by #105542

[ethanfurman]

It's not failing, and the first three work correctly, but Y.d should be an alias for Y.b, not -2.

[GrafLearnt]

@ethanfurman may be you are right but I find following quite confusing:
~a changed while a remaining the same

class X(enum.Flag):
 a = enum.auto()
 b = enum.auto()
 c = enum.auto()

>>> list(X)
[<X.a: 1>, <X.b: 2>, <X.c: 4>]
>>> ~X.a
<X.b|c: 6>
>>> list(~X.a)
[<X.b: 2>, <X.c: 4>]

class Y(enum.Flag):
 a = enum.auto()
 b = enum.auto()
 c = enum.auto()
 d = ~a

>>> list(Y)
[<Y.a: 1>, <Y.b: 2>, <Y.c: 4>]
>>> ~Y.a
<Y.d: -2>
>>> list(~Y.a)

@GrafLearnt, in your latest example, d should be 6 (i.e. b|c). Thanks for the reminder, this will be a more involved fix than I was originally thinking.

[GrafLearnt]

@ethanfurman d = b | c will work perfectly fine until someone add new member without adding it to d

[ethanfurman]

Well, presumably, if they write d = b|c that's what they want; while d = ~a means every member that's not a.

[GrafLearnt]

@ethanfurman
I love it:

class X(enum.Flag):
 a = enum.auto()
 b = enum.auto()
 c = enum.auto()

>>> ~X.a
<X.b|c: 6>

But this doesn't look correct to me:

class Y(enum.Flag):
 a = enum.auto()
 b = enum.auto()
 c = enum.auto()
 d = ~a

>>> ~Y.a
<Y.d: -2>

Kindly ask to clarify if I am allowed to define inverted.
It brakes iteration of ~Y.a
Also I get following:

>>> ~Y.b

[ethanfurman]

Defining ~a as a member is what is not working correctly.

I believe that last error is fixed in 3.11.5.

[GrafLearnt]

@ethanfurman is defining inverted restricted or will be fixed?

Works fine in Python 3.10.12:

>>> ~Y.b
<Y.c|a: 5>

[ethanfurman]

Will be fixed.
