### Working with Python *enumerations* { #working-with-python-enumerations }

The value of the *path parameter* will be an *enumeration member*.

#### Compare *enumeration members* { #compare-enumeration-members }

You can compare it with the *enumeration member* in your created enum `ModelName`:

        Guava's main yardstick for evaluating proposed features can be summed up as [utility times
        ubiquity](https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/PhilosophyExplained#utility-times-ubiquity).


        #### Utility: compare with alternatives


        There is always *some* alternative to adding a new feature to Guava, even if it's just
        forking Guava yourself.

### Manipuler les *énumérations* Python

La valeur du *paramètre de chemin* sera un des "membres" de l'énumération.

#### Comparer les *membres d'énumération*

Vous pouvez comparer ce paramètre avec les membres de votre énumération `ModelName` :

{* ../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial005.py hl[17] *}
