There are still two reasonable APIs (unless you have changed your mind and think that sticking with plain integers is best), of which I prefer the latter:

SOMECONST = Constant('SOMECONST', 1) OTHERCONST = Constant('OTHERCONST', 2) or: Constants = makeconstants('Constants', 'SOMECONST OTHERCONST', start=1)

Or:

Constants = make_constants('Constants', 'SOME_CONST OTHER_CONST',
values=range(1, 3))

Again, auto-enumeration is useless since it's trivial to achieve explicitly.

Antoine.
