I use custom classes and the "is" operator... that way, things don't
get confused with integers, and I have an object where repr(state) will
give me more than an integer. (the integer approach works well enough
but seems like a case of "I can program C in ANY language!")
opened = type('opened', (object,), {})
closed = type('closed', (object,), {})
error = type('closed', (object,), {})
if thing.state is opened:
...
elif thing.state is error:
... etc
