class BehaviorMixin: # bla bla class MyBehavingIntEnum(int, BehaviorMixin, Enum): foo = 1 bar = 2 It's a common pattern to do this with a base class rather than a mixin, though, and I think the rule "only allow subclassing empty enums" makes a lot of sense.

So is this a pronouncement? I'm going to get whiplash if I change that bit of code many more times. ;)
