> Is there an equivalent for enumerated types in Python?
I've appended a little code I wrote for this; I like it because the
numeric values are hidden and the printed values are symbolic.
If you store this code as enum.py, use it like this:
>>> import enum
>>> myenum = enum.enumeration(['Foo', 'Bar'], 'myenum')
>>> # You can now "import myenum" elsewhere in the application
... print myenum.Bar
myenum.Bar
>>> L = [myenum.Bar, myenum.Foo]
>>> L.sort()
>>> print L
[myenum.Foo, myenum.Bar]
Enjoy!
