I'm pleased to announce the release of munepy 1.3. munepy is yet another Python enumeration package. It is compatible with Python 2.4 and 2.5. It's not called 'enum' because that's already taken by an alternative enum package. From the README.txt file:

Introduction ============

This package is called `munepy`. It is yet another Python enum package, but with a slightly different take on syntax and semantics than earlier such packages.

The goals of munepy were to produce simple, specific, concise semantics in an easy to read and write syntax. munepy has just enough of the features needed to make Enums useful, but without a lot of extra baggage to weigh them down. This work grew out of the Mailman 3.0 project and it is the enum package used there.

The name `munepy` is a play on words. *mune* is *enum* backwards, and *py* is a common suffix for Python code. *munepy* is pronounced exactly the same as the delicious round chocolaty (if appearance indicates) pastry Moon Pie, which is best when consumed with an RC cola.

Why another Python enum implementation? 'Cause I like mine better. :)

Here's just a small example, from the documentation:

>>> from munepy import Enum >>> class Colors(Enum): ... red = 1 ... green = 2 ... blue = 3

>>> print Colors.red Colors.red

>>> Colors.red is Colors.red True >>> Colors.blue is Colors.blue True >>> Colors.red is not Colors.blue True >>> Colors.blue is Colors.red False

>>> int(Colors.red) 1 >>> int(Colors.green) 2 >>> int(Colors.blue) 3
