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

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

HTH, -Nikolaus 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.

That didn't help,

Aeh, yes.

Best,
