+1. The problem with int constants is that the int gets printed, not the name, when you dump them for debugging purposes :) Well, it's trivial to subclass int to something with a nicer repr. PyGTK uses that technique for wrapping C enums: Nice. It might be useful to add a private Constant class somewhere for stdlib purposes. Why not just solve the problem properly and add it to the standard library... (Allowing for flag enums too that can be or'd together and still have a decent repr.)
