Enum of enums in Python?

Question

Is it possible to have an enum of enums in Python? For example, I\'d like to have

enumA
    enumB
        elementA
        elementB
    enumC
        elementC

You can use namedtuples to do something like this:

>>> from collections import namedtuple
>>> Foo = namedtuple('Foo', ['bar', 'barz'])
>>> Bar = namedtuple('Bar', ['element_a', 'element_b'])
>>> Barz = namedtuple('Barz', ['element_c', 'element_d'])
>>> bar = Bar('a', 'b')
>>> barz = Barz('c', 'd')
>>> foo = Foo(bar, barz)
>>> foo
Foo(bar=Bar(element_a='a', element_b='b'), barz=Barz(element_c='c', element_d='d'))
>>> foo.bar.element_a
'a'
>>> foo.barz.element_d
'd'

This is not a enum but, maybe solves your problem
