[python] enum - getting value of enum on string conversion

I have following enum defined

from enum import Enum


class D(Enum):
    x = 1
    y = 2


print(D.x)

now the printed value is

D.x

instead I wanted the enum's value to be print

1

Hhat can be done to achieve this functionality?

I implemented access using the following

class D(Enum):
    x = 1
    y = 2

    def __str__(self):
        return '%s' % self.value

now I can just do

print(D.x) to get 1 as result.

You can also use self.name in case you wanted to print x instead of 1.
