A bit, yes. :)
I was told when this was brought up previously (a week ago?) that it would be simple to make it truly the same class.
It didn't sound simple to me, but I haven't seen any actual code yet.
I suppose you were going to propose to use isinstance() overloading, but I honestly think that Color.red.class should be the same object as Color.
Yes, a custom instancecheck() is two lines of code.
I just can't get over the weirdness of a class having attributes which are actual instances of itself.
