Call me crazy, but might I suggest:
class Planet(Enum, values='MERCURY VENUS EARTH'):
"""Planets of the Solar System"""
I've always wanted something similar for namedtuples, such as:
class Point(NamedTuple, field_names='x y z'):
"""Planet location with Sun as etc"""
Especially when the common idiom for specifying namedtuples w/ docstrings looks
similar but leaves a lot to be desired w/ the required duplication of the name:
class Point(namedtuple('Point', 'x y z')):
"""Planet location with Sun as etc"""
(Raymond's even endorsed the former):
