But as soon as:

type(Color.red) is Color # True type(MoreColor.red) is MoreColor # True then: Color.red is MoreColor.red # must be False, no?

If that last statement can still be True, I'd love it if someone showed me how. class Foo: a = object() b = object() class Bar(Foo): c = object() Foo.a is Bar.a True Wow. I think I'm blushing from embarrassment. Thank you for answering my question, Barry.

Wait, what? I don't see how Barry's code answers your question. In his example, type(a) == type(b) == type(c) == object. You were asking "how can Color.red and MoreColor.red be the same object if they are of different types?"

p.s. They can't.
