With a Python 3 metaclass that provides default values for *looked up* entries you could have this:

class Color(Enum): RED, WHITE, BLUE

This relies on tuple evaluation order, and would also evaluate any other symbol looked up from inside the class body (which means I cannot add anything else than enum symbols to the class).

In other words, I'm afraid it would be somewhat fragile ;)

And it breaks static code checkers like pyflakes. Georg
