<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/pyodide/v0.26.3/full/pyodide.js'></script>

Script Preparation code:

async function globalMeasureThatScriptPrepareFunction() {
  	window.globalPyodide = await loadPyodide();
  	console.log(globalPyodide.runPython('import sys; sys.version'));
	await globalPyodide.runPython(`
		from enum import Enum, auto

		class TestEnum(Enum):
			a = auto()
			b = auto()

		a = "connected"
		b = "disconnected"
	`);    
}

Tests:

Test #1 Enum
window.globalPyodide.runPython(` c = 0 for i in range(0, 100000): v = TestEnum.a if i % 2 == 0 else TestEnum.b if v is TestEnum.a: c = c + 1 `);
String compare
window.globalPyodide.runPython(` c = 0 for i in range(0, 100000): v = "connected" if i % 2 == 0 else "disconnected" if v == "connected": c = c + 1 `);
