Enumming

[Larry Whitley]

I come to Python from C++ and am wondering how Pythoners do the equivalent
of the C++ enum.  My current approach is to have an enum class with some
constants in it for use with my regular class.  It there something more
clever that I've missed?

Let's say I have a list of tuples like so:

myList = []
for i in range( 10 ):
    myList.append( functionA(), funcationB(), functionC(), functionD(),
functionE() )

Here's my class of enums:

class E:
    a,b,c,d,e = range( 5 )

Later, I use the enums to access my list:

myC = myList[5][ E.c]

Is this the usual approach?
