I only created this issue because its a deviation from any standard that exists AFAIK. Nothing I know of starts at 1 in programming and I more than likely won't be the last one to make this mistake. If indexing in Python started at 1 or any other accessor for that matter started with 1 I could understand it but it doesn't. Its even an ongoing online joke that "arrays start at 1". 

Most other language enum types are not explicit in value definitions because they don't matter, they now have to matter and be explicit in python due to this deviation.
