I don't use Python, though I would think it would have a mechanism for
defining named constants in a file that can be included by reference
by your program.
In C/C++, something like the following could be done:
enum OpAmpCP {
OpAmp_Pos,
OpAmp_Neg,
OpAmp_Out
};
Then in the program:
#include "shapeDefinitions.h"
/* other code */
ShapeType = parseShape(objectIndex, attributes, connections);
switch (ShapeType) {
case OpAmp:
makeConnection(objectIndex, OpAmp_Pos, connections[OpAmp_Pos]);
/* more code */
break;
/* cases for other shapes */
}
