Typing error when defining an enum of an attrs class

[MicaelJarniac]

When trying to define an enum of an @attrs.define class, Mypy gives typing errors, but it works in runtime.

When trying to define an enum of an @attrs.frozen class, Mypy doesn't give an error, but it errors at runtime.

When trying to define an enum of a @dataclasses.dataclass class, Mypy doesn't give an error, and it works at runtime.

I started noticing this today after I removed support for Python 3.9 from my project, and ran poetry update.

from dataclasses import dataclass
from enum import Enum

import attrs
from pytest import raises


@attrs.define
class AttrsDefine:
    a: int
    b: float


# error: Definition of "__hash__" in base class "AttrsDefine" is incompatible with definition in base class "Enum"  [misc]
class AttrsDefineEnum(AttrsDefine, Enum):
    X = (1, 2.0)
    Y = (3, 4.0)


@attrs.frozen
class AttrsFrozen:
    a: int
    b: float


@dataclass
class Dataclass:
    a: int
    b: float


class DataclassEnum(Dataclass, Enum):
    X = (1, 2.0)
    Y = (3, 4.0)


def test_enums() -> None:
    with raises(attrs.exceptions.FrozenInstanceError) as exc_info:

        # attr.exceptions.FrozenInstanceError
        class AttrsFrozenEnum(AttrsFrozen, Enum):
            X = (1, 2.0)
            Y = (3, 4.0)

        print(repr(AttrsFrozenEnum.X))

    print(exc_info.exconly())
    print(repr(AttrsDefineEnum.X))
    print(repr(DataclassEnum.X))

What about dataclass(frozen=True)? So far, it sounds a Mypy thing to me.
