equivalent of enum?

(doughellmann at home.com) spoke forth to us, saying...

[snip...]

This is a handy little trick (thanks for posting it!), and not to be
picky, but the indexing will start at zero instead of one, which could
trip up people new to Python. So this would be better as:

	zero, one, two = range(3)

Or, maybe:

	one, two, three = range(1, 4)

Also, just as a matter of style, I use all CAPS when the number I'm
defining is meant to be a constant. Using ranges is sure going to beat
naming all the enum values by hand, though. :=)
