class Planet(Enum, values='MERCURY VENUS EARTH'): """Planets of the Solar System""" I must be too, 'cause I really like that suggestion. Works easily, simple metaclass (or simple addition to current metaclass). Very nice.

Having said that, what does it look like for a longer enum?

class Planet( Enum, names=''' MERCURY VENUS EARTH MARS SATURN JUPITER URANUS PLUTO ''', ): '''Planets of the Solar System'''

Not sure I like that. Ah well.
