Eclipse PyDev sees undefined variable incorrectly

Question

I have a module named ColorPalette with the following enumeration in it:

from enum import Enum

class Color(Enum):
    Black = '#000000'
    White = '#ffffff'
    Purple = '#7e1e9c'
    Green = '#15b01a'
    Blue = '#0343df'
    Pink = '#ff81c0'
    Brown = '#653700'
    Red = '#e50000'

In this same module, I can do:

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print (Color.Yellow.value)

And it prints out the hex value of the color I have defined. However, now in another module, when I import this enum and want to define a variable:

from ColorPalette import Color
black = Color.Black.value

Then the code works (I use the color in a PIL drawing), but Eclipse shows a red underline under the property value, with the error Undefined variable from import: value.

Do I miss an import, or does PyDev have this wrong? How could I fix this?

Humm, it seems Enum's are a bit too dynamic to the PyDev type inference engine... Please create a feature request so that I can take a look at this to improve it for this situation (at https://www.brainwy.com/tracker/PyDev/).
