I have a competing proposal for enumerations which I just haven't  
gotten around to spec'ing out yet.  Check the the cheeseshop for the  
'munepy' package if you're interested (mune == enum backwards, since  
'enum' was already taken).

Guido, can you tell me whether the concept of enums for Python is  
being rejected, or this specific proposal?  My proposal would be  
quite different, and I think, more Pythonic.  Should I bother  
submitting a PEP?
