Bruno Cauet added the comment: I'm not sure how you can have both, those two seem opposite to me: - if 'from_bytes' returns the same type as the class it is called on then the instantiation of the result object should go through its constructor (patch proposed) - if the subclass should override base class behaviour then there is no reason for Enum.from_bytes to return the same type as the class it is called on, and therefore it should be made a classmethod.
