I think it does, doesn't it? From the PEP:

"Values within an enumeration cannot be meaningfully compared *except
with values from the same enumeration*.  The comparison operation
functions return ``NotImplemented`` [#CMP-NOTIMPLEMENTED]_ when a
value from an enumeration is compared against any value not from the
same enumeration or of a different type." (my emphasis)
