Why are you using is here instead of ==? You're making a circular loop using "is"
I should add that when you're serializing with pickle and then reloading, the objects should be seen as "essentially equivalent". This means that they are either byte-by-byte equivalent (not sure actually if Python actually guarantees this), or every element would still compare equal and that is what matters.
Enums are supposed to be singletons, though, so the 'is' test is exactly the point of this test. --David
