The metaclass can define it easily:

   - have generic helper class (I call mine `attrs`)
   - __prepare__ creates an instance of the custom dict
   - __prepare__ then inserts the helper class into the custom dict with 
the same name as the (to be created) custom Enum type
   - return the custom dict to Python

class is processed using custom dict

   - __new__ gets the custom dict back from Python
   - __new__ replaces all instances of the helper class with actual Enum 
instances (which it creates on the spot)
   - any other housekeeping necessary
   - __new__ returns the new Enum type, complete with all Enum instances

Here's an example run:

8<----------planets.py------------------------------------------------
from aenum import Enum

class Planet(Enum):
     MERCURY = Planet(3.303e+23, 2.4397e6)
     VENUS   = Planet(4.869e+24, 6.0518e6)
     EARTH   = Planet(5.976e+24, 6.37814e6)
     MARS    = Planet(6.421e+23, 3.3972e6)
     JUPITER = Planet(1.9e+27,   7.1492e7)
     SATURN  = Planet(5.688e+26, 6.0268e7)
     URANUS  = Planet(8.686e+25, 2.5559e7)
     NEPTUNE = Planet(1.024e+26, 2.4746e7)

     def __init__(self, mass, radius):
         self.mass = mass     # in kilograms
         self.radius = radius # in meters

     @property
     def surfaceGravity(self):
         # universal gravitational constant  (m3 kg-1 s-2)
         G = 6.67300E-11
         return G * self.mass / (self.radius * self.radius)

     def surfaceWeight(self, otherMass):
         return otherMass * self.surfaceGravity

print(int(Planet.VENUS))
print(repr(Planet.VENUS))
print(Planet.VENUS.surfaceGravity)
