import h5py

import numpy as np


f = h5py.File('enum_attrs.hdf5', 'w')
attrs = f.attrs

# Define an enum dtype
enum_dtype = h5py.special_dtype(
    enum=(np.int32, {'one': 1, 'two': 2, 'three': 3})
)
# Create an attribute with that enum dtype
attrs.create('enum', 2, dtype=enum_dtype)

f.close()

with pyfive.File('enum_attrs.hdf5') as hfile:
    import h5py
    enum_attr = hfile.attrs['enum']
    assert enum_attr == 2
    assert enum_attr.dtype == enum_dtype
    )
Traceback (most recent call last):

KeyError: 'There are no fields in dtype int32.'

I traced this back to a mismatch in DataObjects._attr_value, where instead of the value, the datatype of an enum is returned.
