Comparison issue for Enum

See original GitHub issue

Since Enum use is operator to check equality, it will fail if the other value is not the same object as Enum.value.

Code:

from graphene import Enum

big_value = 99999999999999
big_string = 'hello' * 100


class MyEnum(Enum):
    TypeA = 99999999999999
    TypeB = 'hello' * 100

assert MyEnum.TypeA == big_value
assert MyEnum.TypeB == big_string

Expect result: Everything works fine.

Result:

assertion failed for both.

@Fity you need to do:

assert MyEnum.TypeA.value == big_value
assert MyEnum.TypeB.value == big_string
