How would I implement this?
You can use reflection to do this. Perhaps a constructor that goes through your class dict (dir(self)) and builds an int->string mapping property based on the value and name of the attributes (perhaps just the ones whose type is int). To get the exact same result as your code above you can capitalize the first letter of the attribute name, and lowercase the rest. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
