Description:
This package provides a module for robust enumerations in Python.

An enumeration object is created with a sequence of string arguments
to the Enum() constructor::
> > > from enum import Enum
> > > Colours = Enum('red', 'blue', 'green')
> > > Weekdays = Enum('mon', 'tue', 'wed', 'thu', 'fri', 'sat', 'sun')

The return value is an immutable sequence object with a value for each
of the string arguments. Each value is also available as an attribute
named from the corresponding string argument::
> > > pizza_night = Weekdays[4]
> > > shirt_colour = Colours.green

The values are constants that can be compared only with values from
the same enumeration; comparison with other values will invoke
Python's fallback comparisons::
> > > pizza_night == Weekdays.fri

True
> > > shirt_colour > Colours.red

True
> > > shirt_colour == "green"

False

Each value from an enumeration exports its sequence index
as an integer, and can be coerced to a simple string matching the
original arguments used to create the enumeration::
> > > str(pizza_night)

'fri'
> > > shirt_colour.index
