Description
Bug report
Bug description:
This code populates the AddressFamily enum:
IntEnum._convert_(
'AddressFamily',
__name__,
lambda C: C.isupper() and C.startswith('AF_'))
But AF_DECnet isn't all uppercase so it's currently excluded. Do we need the isupper() test? I don't see anything that begins with AF_ in socket other than the existing members of AddressFamily and AF_DECnet.
CPython versions tested on:
3.13

Research direction
Start in the socket module where AddressFamily is populated by IntEnum.convert and inspect the AF_* names, especially AF_DECnet. Check the linked PR gh-127548 and existing socket tests; done means AF_DECnet is represented in socket.AddressFamily without regressing other address-family members.
