Well, some assignments could be for non-enumeration items, once you 
start allowing EnumItem in the list.  Some method of grouping 
enumeration items, or grouping non-enumeration items would solve the 
problem.

class Color( Enum ):
      Enum.__enumerationItems__(
             red=1,
             green=2,
             blue=3,
             )
      # other methods and assignments
