Hi, about this enum/const thing, The use case I like more is a class where you know all the instances and not just a sequence of names. Particularly It would be nice to have custom attributes and methods besides the value and the name. I have my own implementation with a basic api somewhat borrowed from flufl.enum (plus a lot of other stuff), but with this kind of support: https://github.com/jbvsmo/makeobj I couldn't find the best way to express enums with the current python syntax, so I also wrote a simple regex-parsed language to fit objects with an arbitrary level of complexity. I think, enumeration per se is not much more useful than just a bunch of integers... Having this kind of control IMO is. Although Java is not a good example of anything, they have a similar feature. What do you people think? João Bernardo 2013/2/3 Tim Delaney <timothy.c.delaney@gmail.com>

Feel free to raise issues there, clone and make pull requests, etc.
As Eli has noted in the issues, no comments or anything except the unit tests yet. Lots of magic. Needs significant cleanup.
And I'll note again in case it's not clear - this currently *only* works with Python 3.3.
