Sample code:

class AutoEnum(enum.Enum):
    """

    Includes support for a custom docstring per member.
    """
    __last_number__ = 0
    def __new__(cls, *args):

        value = cls.__last_number__ + 1
        cls.__last_number__ = value

        return obj
    def __init__(self, *args):
        """
        Can handle 0 or 1 argument; more requires a custom __init__.
        0  = auto-number w/o docstring

        2+ = needs custom __init__
        """
        if len(args) == 1 and isinstance(args[0], str):
            self.__doc__ = args[0]
        elif args:
            raise TypeError('%s not dealt with -- need custom __init__' % (args,))

class AddressSegment(AutoEnum):
    misc = "not currently tracked"
    ordinal = "N S E W NE NW SE SW"
    secondary = "apt bldg floor etc"
    street = "st ave blvd etc"

def huh(self):
    return 'did I show up?'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 'huh' function, shown above, does *not* show up in a dir of either AutoEnum nor AddressSegment, regardless of which class it is defined in -- this is because a directory of an Enum class is meant to show ['__class__', '__doc__', '__members__', '__module__'] + whatever Enum members have been defined.

However, a directory of an Enum member should show any normal methods* available on that member.  Currently, if 'huh' is defined in the final class it will show up, but if defined in a superclass it will not.

That is the bug.


* 'normal method' means any method not prefixed by any underscores.
