Python Backport

The py_back modules serve three purposes:

• Enable the use of new base classes in older Python versions. For example, enum.StrEnum is new in Python 3.11, but py_back allows users on previous versions to use it too.
• Enable experimental classes not implemented in other modules. For example, enum.TupleEnum is not implemented in enum, but py_back allows users to create enumerations where its members are tuples.
• Provide of new classes containing commonly used constant values. For example, py_back.colors provides a wrapper to commonly used BGR color codes, like BGR.WHITE to use the color code (255, 255, 255)
