I propose do not use an inheritance for extending enums, but use an import.

class Colors(Enum):
   red = 1
   green = 2
   blue = 3

class MoreColors(Enum):
   from Colors import *
   cyan = 4
   magenta = 5
   yellow = 6

An inheritance we can use to limit a type of values.

class Colors(int, Enum): # only int values
   red = 1
   green = 2
   blue = 3

Colors.viridity = green
