Oh I see,

In cases like these the problem is not changing up the current 
definitions :D, but figure out why the problem is happening.

It looks like this is happening because we are trying to access another 
enum member from the instance instead of the class. This should solve it:

   none = type(self).none

for readability's sake you can also split it across multiple lines 
instead of the inline if.

A note for future replies, a mailing list should be treated like an 
online forum. If we quote the entire message, and that message also has 
more quotes under it, the thread will become quite congested and hard to 
read. On forums we quote a part of the post and reply directly beneath 
it, as it follows the logical reading order. This is referred to as 
bottom posting. There is also the part where a lot of junk will fill up 
the mailing list archive and the maintainers won't be happy. There is 
this resource which is concise that I highly recommend:
