Please give an example of how you want to use the requested functionality. It makes it lots easier to understand how/if it should be implemented.
Hi @eerimoq, thank you for your reply. Here is few ideas, not sure whether they are good or not or even feasible.
BASIC_ASN is the ASN.1 specification from the OP.
Access to the named values
foo = asn1tools.compile_string(BASIC_ASN, codec="uper")
type = foo.types["SomeDays"]
## Nice to have - access to enum names and values:
value = type.named_values["tuesday"]
assert value == 1
## Nice to have - access to values and names of named integers:
type = foo.types["Constants"]
value = type.named_values["min"]
assert value == -1
Possibility to encode using names of named integers
foo = asn1tools.compile_string(BASIC_ASN, codec="uper")
## Works fine
encoded = foo.encode("Constants", 1)
## Would be nice
encoded = foo.encode("Constants", "min")
I don't have time to think about this now. Sorry.
Question/Enhancement.
Is there any way how to refer to named integers and enums by name when asn1tools.compile_files(...) is used?
It would be great if the names were part of the compiled types.
Illustrative example of an ASN.1 specification with named integers:
