I wouldn't mind renaming enumobject.c/h to enumerateobject.c/h, but I think it is going overboard to rename all the internal structures and static functions. The latter is entirely unnecessary. The C language itself has enums and there has never been any confusion with the enumerate iterator. Raymond
