There are still two reasonable APIs (unless you have changed your mind
and think that sticking with plain integers is best), of which I prefer
the latter:
SOME_CONST = Constant('SOME_CONST', 1)
OTHER_CONST = Constant('OTHER_CONST', 2)
or:
Constants = make_constants('Constants', 'SOME_CONST OTHER_CONST', start=1)
Or:
Constants = make_constants('Constants', 'SOME_CONST OTHER_CONST',
values=range(1, 3))
Again, auto-enumeration is useless since it's trivial to achieve
explicitly.
Ah, I see. It is the auto-enumeration you disliked. Sure - not a problem.
I think the step that Nick described, of evaluating places in the
standard library that this could be used, is a good one. I'll try to get
around to it and perhaps attempt to resuscitate the PEP. (Any
suggestions as to an appropriate module if having it live in its own
module is still an objection?)
We already have a bunch of bizarrely unrelated stuff in collections
(such as Callable), so we could put enum there too.
I guess it creates collections of constants...
