Backend types

CircuitBackendType

 CircuitBackendType (*values)

*Create a collection of name/value pairs.

Example enumeration:

class Color(Enum): … RED = 1 … BLUE = 2 … GREEN = 3

Access them by:

• attribute access:

  Color.RED <Color.RED: 1>

• value lookup:

  Color(1) <Color.RED: 1>

• name lookup:

  Color[‘RED’] <Color.RED: 1>

Enumerations can be iterated over, and know how many members they have:

len(Color) 3

list(Color) [<Color.RED: 1>, <Color.BLUE: 2>, <Color.GREEN: 3>]

Methods can be added to enumerations, and members can have their own attributes – see the documentation for details.*
