And language. In recent python3:

>>> class Color(Enum):
...   Red = 0
...   Blue = 1
... 
>>> Color.Red
<Color.Red: 0>
>>> print (Color.Red)
Color.Red

# Not sure what to make of that distinction...

>>> c=Color.Red
>>> c = Color.Blue if c==Color.Red else Color.Red
>>> c
<Color.Blue: 1>
>>> 

>>> # Better
>>> def toggle(c): return Color.Blue if c==Color.Red else Color.Red
... 
>>> toggle(c)
<Color.Blue: 1>
>>> toggle(c)
<Color.Blue: 1>

# which means the c has not changed



>>> toggle(toggle(c))
<Color.Red: 0>
