Yes - my enum's exactly the same - simple, concise str (for both the enum
and values) and detailed repr. The actual repr is a little different to
flufl.enum repr (I think the str is the same) but conveys the same
information.

Color.RED
<EnumValue 'Color.RED': 0>

{RED:0, GREEN:1, BLUE:2, CYAN:10, MAGENTA:11, YELLOW:12, BLACK:127}
<enum __main__.Color {<EnumValue 'RED': 0>, <EnumValue 'GREEN': 1>,
<EnumValue 'BLUE': 2>, <EnumValue 'CYAN': 10>, <EnumValue 'MAGENTA': 11>,
<EnumValue 'YELLOW': 12>, <EnumValue 'BLACK': 127>}>
