Description
enums generated by Pyo3 don't actually subclass Python's Enum. Due to this, some attributes/methods are missing from Pyo3 enums that you would expect in Python. Additionally, EnumType is not the metaclass of Pyo3 enums leading to the same problems.
I am not entirely sure how this might be fixed, simply because I don't know the restrictions of the Python C API.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how PyO3 generates enums and reviewing Python's Enum and EnumType behavior alongside the Python C API constraints; done means PyO3 enums provide the expected attributes and use EnumType as their metaclass.
