Worse for me, most of the applications I have, I'd like the enumerator identifiers to be both string-valued and int-valued: the int used to index into Python sequences, and the string used in formatting SQL.

Is the string value required the same as the name used in Python code? If so, this requirement would be met by having index return the int value and str return the unqualified name.
