This reminds me: a stdlib enum should support proper pickling and 
copying; i.e.:

    assert SomeEnum.anEnum is pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(SomeEnum.anEnum))

This could probably be implemented by adding something like:

    def __reduce__(self):
        return getattr, (self._class, self._enumname)

in the EnumValue class.
