I agree with your idea, but note you probably shouldn't call them e-num-erations, then. > Hmm. I think this limits interoperation with C libraries and prototyping > C code. Like I say, despite the lack of alignment with C, that this is the right way to go for a high-level language like Python. But I don't think it should be built-into the language. The bigger question is: what things should be comparable? and this is something that has not been settled. Nor do I believe it can be by the language. This is where I rather liked the old __cmp__ function, not only was it easier to implement, but I could define a comparison and it was clearer that I was doing so (within the class at least).
