For enum34:

[Availability]
In universe since Trusty.

[Rationale]
Used by some packages that want enum support in older Python versions. Used by python-cryptography (another package in this MIR).

[Security]
No known security issues. None to be expected really, since it only provides a basic data type.

[Quality assurance]
Bugs are well tracked upstream. Code is well tested in upstream Python.

[Dependencies]
None other than Python itself.

[Standards compliance]
Meets Debian and Debian Python standards.

[Maintenance]
Package is well maintained upstream by Python's enum stdlib maintainer, and in Debian by the DPMT and myself.

[Background information]
enum34 is a standalone version of the Python 3.4 stdlib enum package. It's compatible with older Python 3 and Python 2 versions and is often used to provide cross-version compatibility in packages that want to use enums in older Python versions.
