Or using your exact implementation, but subclassing AutoNumber from IntEnum:

    class AutoNumber(IntEnum):
        def __new__(cls):
            value = len(cls.__enum_info__) + 1
            obj = object.__new__(cls)
            obj._value = value
            return obj
        def __int__(self):
            return self._value
    class Color(AutoNumber):
        red = ()
        green = ()
        blue = ()

    print(repr(Color.red))

---------- Run Python3 ----------
<Color.red: ()>
