The values used in Flags are an implementation detail.  The expected, and supported, use is naming the flags:

class Color(Flags):
    Red, Green, Blue

even custom names can be set using this method:

>>> class Color(enum.Flags):
...   red, green, blue
...   black = red & green & blue
... 
>>> list(Color)
[<Color.red: 1>, <Color.green: 2>, <Color.blue: 4>, <Color.black: 0>]

>>> class Color(enum.Flags):
...   red, green, blue
...   purple = red | blue
... 
>>> list(Color)
[<Color.red: 1>, <Color.green: 2>, <Color.blue: 4>, <Color.purple: 5>]
>>> Color(5)
<Color.purple: 5>
>>> Color(3)
<Color.red|green: 3>

I'll have to think about ensuring each bit is named -- it's only a (potential) problem if the values are specified manually.
