Eli Bendersky added the comment:

The whole point of IntEnum and replacing stdlib constants with it was friendly 
str & repr out of the box. This means that "just printing out" an enum member 
should have a nice string representation. And "just printing out" means:

print(member)
"%s" % member
"{}".format(member)

!s/!r are quite esoteric - IntEnum should behave in the nicest way possible out 
of the box.

Let's just rig IntEnum's __format__ to do the right thing and not worry about 
Enum itself. I hope that mixin-with-Enum cases are rare (and most are IntEnum 
anyway), and in such rare cases users are free to lift the implementation from 
IntEnum.
