It would really be better if instances were actual instances of the class, IMO. The first False looks correct to me, I would not expect an enum value to be an instance of the class that holds it as an attribute.
Agreed, completely.
The second certainly looks odd, but what does it even mean to have an instance of an Enum class?
It only looks odd because it's using failed, duplicate, deprecated syntax. Does this look similarly odd?
isinstance(C[1], C) False
given that C[1] is C.a?
