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.

You are printing the enum object  Use the  value attribute if you wanted just to print that   print D x value    See the Programmatic access to enumeration members and their attributes section      If you have an enum member and need its name or value    gt  gt  gt   gt  gt  gt  member   Color red  gt  gt  gt  member name  red   gt  gt  gt  member value 1    You could add a   str   method to your enum  if all you wanted was to provide a custom string representation   class D Enum       def   str   self           return str self value       x   1     y   2   Demo    gt  gt  gt  from enum import Enum  gt  gt  gt  class D Enum           def   str   self               return str self value          x   1         y   2       gt  gt  gt  D x  lt D x  1 gt   gt  gt  gt  print D x  1
