State is a class, it just inherits from enum. Thus:

type(State) == type(enum) == type(EnumMetaclass) issubclass(State, enum) == True

If you'd tried it, you'd have found that that isn't true. enum has a metaclass, EnumMetaclass. Thus type(enum) == EnumMetaClass. That is exactly what I wrote above.

Sorry, I must have read what I thought rather than what I wrote. You're right, what I wrote was wrong.

Best,
