How would I implement this?
Why don't use the simple approach like this? TEST_PASSED = "Passed" TEST_FAILED = "Failed" TEST_ABORTED = "Aborted" In Python, no one forces you to put everything in classes. If you are determined to use the class approach, use the __str__ method. It's called when you do str(instance).
