Blast, I hate responding to my own posts, but as soon as I
hit Send, I noticed the syntax here was biffed. Should have
been something like
>>> shades = enum(("white", 100), ("grey", 50),
("gray",50), ("black", 50))
Same could go for days of the week:
>>> dow=enum(("sunday", 0), ("monday", 1),
("start_of_work_week", 1), ... ("friday", 5),
("end_of_work_week", 5)...)
Given more little grey cells (or gray cells?), I'm sure I
could come up with more examples of when it's handy to have
duplicate values in an enum...
