+Module Contents
+---------------
This module defines two enumeration classes that can be used to define unique
sets of names and values: :class:`Enum` and :class:`IntEnum`. It also defines
-one decorator, :func:`unique`, that ensures only unique member values are
-present in an enumeration.
+one decorator, :func:`unique`.
+
+.. class:: Enum
+
+ Base class for creating enumerated constants. See section
+ :ref:`Functional API` for an alternate construction syntax.
+
+.. class:: IntEnum
+
+ Base class for creating enumerated constants that are also
+ subclasses of :class:`int`.
+
+.. function:: unique
+
+ Enum class decorator that ensures only one name is bound to any one value.
