How to print combined Flag in the same way as name property

Viewed 182

In Python, you can use the Flag class to represent combinations of values.

class Color(Flag):
    Red = auto()
    Green = auto()
    Blue = auto()
    White = Red | Green | Blue

These implicitly convert to strings so you can print them.

>>> print(Color.Red, Color.White, Color.Red|Color.Green)
Color.Red Color.White Color.Green|Red

The name property gives you can even nicer way to print, but it doesn't work for unnamed combined values.

>>> print(Color.Red.name, Color.White.name, (Color.Red|Color.Green).name)
Red White None

Is there any way to get a combined Flag value to print in a similar way to name, without writing a separate function?

e.g.

Color.Red | Color.Green  =>  Red Green
