+.. py:decorator:: QEnum
+This class decorator is equivalent to the `Q_ENUM` macro from Qt. The decorator
+is used to register a Python Enum derived class to the meta-object system,
+which is available via `QObject.staticMetaObject`. The enumerator must be in a
+QObject derived class to be registered.
Example
-------
::
- from enum import Enum, Flag, auto
+ from enum import Enum, auto
- from PySide6.QtCore import QEnum, QFlag, QObject
+ from PySide6.QtCore import QEnum, QObject

-Caution:
---------
-
-QEnum registers a Python Enum derived class.
-QFlag treats a variation of the Python Enum, the Flag class.
-
-Please do not confuse that with the Qt QFlags concept. Python does
-not use that concept, it has its own class hierarchy, instead.
-For more details, see the `Python enum documentation <https://docs.python.org/3/library/enum.html>`_.

-Details about Qt Flags:
------------------------
-
-There are some small differences between Qt flags and Python flags.
-In Qt, we have for instance these declarations:
-
-::
-
- enum QtGui::RenderHint { Antialiasing, TextAntialiasing, SmoothPixmapTransform,
- HighQualityAntialiasing, NonCosmeticDefaultPen }
- flags QtGui::RenderHints
-
-The equivalent Python notation would look like this:
-
-::
-
- @QFlag
- class RenderHints(enum.Flag)
- Antialiasing = auto()
- TextAntialiasing = auto()
- SmoothPixmapTransform = auto()
- HighQualityAntialiasing = auto()
- NonCosmeticDefaultPen = auto()
-
-
-As another example, the Qt::AlignmentFlag flag has 'AlignmentFlag' as the enum
-name, but 'Alignment' as the type name. Non flag enums have the same type and
-enum names.
-
-::
-
- enum Qt::AlignmentFlag
- flags Qt::Alignment
-
-The Python way to specify this would be
-
-::
-
- @QFlag
- class Alignment(enum.Flag):
- ...
-
-We are considering to map all builtin enums and flags to Python enums as well
-in a later release.
+See :deco:`QFlag` for registering Python Flag derived classes.
+Meanwhile all enums and flags have been converted to Python Enums
+(default since ``PySide 6.4``), see the :ref:`NewEnumSystem` section.
