Is this supposed to be a quote? or your rewrite? or did Santos rewrite 
after you posted? The blog currently has a 3.x version of that.

As far as official CPython goes, Enum is 3.4+ only. I believe the module 
will continue to work on earlier 3.x and will remain externally 
available as a 3rd party module. Ethan said he plans to backport to 2.7 
so 2 & 3 code can use enums.
