Instead of struggling to define an enum in C that can be read in Python - I'm assuming you can pass strings back and forth - why not just print whatever you need to give to Python into a string (or maybe 2 strings) and send it to Python as string? Python is a dynamic language, it can quickly build an enum type from one string and instantiate enums of that type from the other string.
In short, if you have problems creating an enum in C and passing it to Python, give the problems to Python! Let it create the enum. --- Joseph S.

I think that it would be much easier to define it in Python, and then either import a Python module in your C code, or exec a Python code as a string. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
