Is it ok to move _member_map_ check after _missing_ hook?
I have a derived class has no members and hook _missing_, it raise exception here.

Unfortunately, no. I tried to do that, but then the bug wasn't fixed.

What does your missing() hook do?

If you have no other alternative, you'll need to subclass EnumType and override the __call__ method.

Thanks for the quick reply. here is an example:

from enum import Enum

class DynamicEnum(Enum):
    @classmethod
    def _missing_(cls, value):
        temp = object.__new__(cls)
        temp._name_ = f"{cls.__name__}_{value}"
        temp._value_ = value
        return temp

dynamic_enum = DynamicEnum(3)
print(dynamic_enum)
print(dynamic_enum.value)

which prints

DynamicEnum.DynamicEnum_3
3

before this change.

As my understanding, hook _missing_ handle the missing input, a dynamic value in the above case.
so I raise the question: hook _missing_ before empty check.

I'll chime in here as well. I have the same question and got hit by this change as well. We have a setup where we do like:

from enum import Enum

class Result(Enum):
    @classmethod
    def _missing_(cls, value):
        v = None
        for subclass in cls.__subclasses__():
            try:
                v = subclass(value)
            except:
                pass

        return v


class CommonResult(Result):
    OK = 0
    ERR_FOO = -0x1
    ERR_BAR = -0x2

Previously, Result(0) returned CommonResult.OK. Now throws. It was a nifty pattern to use, and it sort of breaks the combination of using the _missing_ and subclasses of Enum.

# still not found -- try _missing_ hook
try:
exc = None
