I'm not sure enums are high-priority, but comprehending template types seems to be useful -- and perhaps vital going forward. As you say, the Lucene community is moving in this direction.
For the moment with neo4j, I've added a concrete type which instantiates the Java interface, and packaged that with the other jar files. That makes it reasonably Pythonic to generate instances, but I've also suggested to the neo4j project that they include this class to their codebase, so that neo4j can just be wrapped and used out-of-the-box. Since this (making neo4j work with JCC) is a "major" priority issue in the neo4j bug-tracker, I have hopes it may happen. Bill
