Never used enums in Python, and likely won't do so anywhere in the near 
future, but I just read through the usage page at
http://packages.python.org/flufl.enum/docs/using.html
and *if* such a library gets added to the stdlib, then this is the way it 
should work. The examples totally make sense to me.
