Sure, here are the steps on how to represent an 'Enum' in Python:

  1. Import the Enum class from the enum module.
  2. Create a class that inherits from the Enum class.
  3. Define the members of the enumeration as attributes of the class.
  4. Optionally, you can define the values of the members of the enumeration.

Here is an example of how to represent an 'Enum' in Python:

Python

from enum import Enum

class Color(Enum):
  RED = 1
  GREEN = 2
  BLUE = 3

This code defines an enumeration called Color with three members: RED, GREEN, and BLUE. The values of the members are 1, 2, and 3, respectively.

Here is how you can use the Color enumeration:

Python

color = Color.RED

print(color)
# Color.RED

print(color.value)
# 1

The first line of code creates a variable called color and assigns it the value Color.RED. The second line of code prints the value of color. The third line of code prints the value of the value attribute of color.
