Will this do?

     class AutoNumber(Enum):
         def __new__(cls):
             value = len(cls.__enum_info__) + 1
             obj = object.__new__(cls)
             obj._value = value
             return obj
         def __int__(self):
             return self._value
     class Color(AutoNumber):
         red = ()
         green = ()
         blue = ()
