How to extend Python Enum?

Question

What is best practice for extending Enum type in Python 3.4 and is there even a possibility for do this?

For example:

from enum import E         


        

Answer 1

Subclassing an enumeration is allowed only if the enumeration does not define any members.

Allowing subclassing of enums that define members would lead to a violation of some important invariants of types and instances.

So no, it's not directly possible.
