With code such as:

import enum
class Flag(enum.Flag):
    A = 0x01
    B = 0x02
    Mask = 0xff
print(~Flag.A)

Python 3.10.11 prints Flag.B, and so does Python 3.11.3. However, with Python 3.11.4, this happens instead:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/florian/tmp/f.py", line 9, in <module>
    print(~Flag.A)
          ^^^^^^^

    self._inverted_ = self.__class__(self._flag_mask_ ^ self._value_)
                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    return cls.__new__(cls, value)
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    raise exc
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/enum.py", line 1113, in __new__
    result = cls._missing_(value)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/enum.py", line 1454, in _missing_
    raise ValueError('%r: no members with value %r' % (cls, unknown))
ValueError: <flag 'Flag'>: no members with value 252

As a workaround, a detour via .value works in this case:

>>> Flag((Flag.A | Flag.B).value & ~Flag.A.value)
<Flag.B: 2>

This causes issues with PyQt, which has the following flags (as bindings from C++):

>>> from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
>>> for e in Qt.KeyboardModifier:
...     print(f"{e.name} = {hex(e.value)}")
...
NoModifier = 0x0
ShiftModifier = 0x2000000
ControlModifier = 0x4000000
AltModifier = 0x8000000
MetaModifier = 0x10000000
KeypadModifier = 0x20000000
GroupSwitchModifier = 0x40000000
KeyboardModifierMask = 0xfe000000

(Output from Python 3.10 - with Python 3.11, KeyboardModifierMask goes missing in the output, and so does Flag.Mask above, but that seems like a different issue?)

With my project, I'm trying to remove a modifier from the given flags. With Python 3.10.11 and 3.11.3:

>>> (Qt.KeyboardModifier.ShiftModifier | Qt.KeyboardModifier.ControlModifier) & ~Qt.KeyboardModifier.ControlModifier
<KeyboardModifier.ShiftModifier: 33554432>

But with Python 3.11.4, same issue as above:

>>> from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
>>> (Qt.KeyboardModifier.ShiftModifier | Qt.KeyboardModifier.ControlModifier) & ~Qt.KeyboardModifier.ControlModifier
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    return cls.__new__(cls, value)

ValueError: <flag 'KeyboardModifier'>: no members with value 2147483648

As a culprit, I suspect:
