Well, it's trivial to subclass int to something with a nicer __repr__.
PyGTK uses that technique for wrapping C enums:
Nice. It might be useful to add a private _Constant class somewhere for
stdlib purposes.
Why not just solve the problem properly and add it to the standard
library... (Allowing for flag enums too that can be or'd together and
still have a decent repr.)
