Handling ECore types

EDate

dt = datetime.now()
ed = EDate.from_string(dt.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f%z'))

Instantiating an ESDL attribute with type EEnum and comparing EEnums:

asset = esdl.WindTurbine(id=str(uuid4()), name="WT1", state=esdl.AssetStateEnum.ENABLED)

if asset.state == esdl.AssetStateEnum.ENABLED:
    ...

Instantiating an ESDL attribute with type EEnum from a string value:

state_string = "ENABLED"

asset = esdl.WindTurbine(id=str(uuid4()), name="WT1")
asset.state = esdl.AssetStateEnum.from_string(state_string)
