python 3.9.2 seems to break enumfields

[jadedarko]

After upgrading to python 3.9.2 I am now unable to import from the enumfields package

3.9.2 changed the way subclassing and multiple inheritance works so it might be related?

From what I can tell, EnumMeta.__prepare__ doesn't seem to be used to generate the attrs dict enumfields uses

A hack to bypass this is to set attrs._cls_name to cls before invoking __new__, but that's obviously not ideal?

[jadedarko]

ah, that's exactly what django-enumfields does:

https://github.com/hzdg/django-enumfields/commit/8a54ab6ca1a406b4f736b1d8a1daff49431a1c5c

Sorry for the noise, I'll swap to using that package.

Closing this since it doesn't seem related to our package
