Given the eg in the docs:
from enum import Enum
class Color(Enum):
    red = 1
    blue = 2
    green = 3

>>> Color(Color.red.value+1)
<Color.blue: 2>

>>> for i in range(Color.red.value,Color.green.value+1):
...   print (Color(i))
... 
Color.red
Color.blue
Color.green


If you say that is clunky I wont argue :-)
