How about something like this:

>>> from enum import Enum
>>> class B4(Enum):
...     F1 = (False, 1)
...     F2 = (False, 2)
...     F3 = (False, 3)
...     T = (True, 4)
...     def __bool__(self):
...         return self.value[0]
...
>>> B4.F1 is B4.F2
False
>>> bool(B4.F1)
False
>>> bool(B4.T)
True
