I don't seem to have made myself clear. The grammar with its Terminals
and NonTerminals is read in from a file. The program doesn't know what
they will be.
For the moment what I am thinking about is something as follows:
grammar = LoadGrammer(GrammarFile)
EnumList = ['class NonTerminal(Enum):\n']
for Index, NonTerminal in enumerate(grammar.NonTerminals):
EnumList.append(' %s = %d\n' % (NonTerminal, Index))
exec(''.join(EnumList), ..., ...)
The problem with this approach is that I can't use these values until
the whole grammer is loaded. I would prefer some way to add values
during the loading of the grammar.
