-Restricted subclassing of enumerations
---------------------------------------
+Restricted Enum subclassing
+---------------------------
 
-Subclassing an enumeration is allowed only if the enumeration does not define
+A new :class:`Enum` class must have one base Enum class, up to one concrete
+data type, and as many :class:`object`-based mixin classes as needed.  The
+order of these base classes is::
+
+    def EnumName([mix-in, ...,] [data-type,] base-enum):
+        pass
+
+Also, subclassing an enumeration is allowed only if the enumeration does not define
 any members.  So this is forbidden::
