Python comes with an enum module for creating enums. You can make your own enum by inheriting importing and inheriting from Enum.

[code]
  from enum import Enum
  
  
  class LifeCycle(Enum):
      configure = 1
      glob = 2
      pre_render = 3
      render = 4
      post_render = 5
      save = 6

auto incrementing
─────────────────

Enum values can be auto incremented by importing auto, and calling auto() as their value.

[code]
  from enum import Enum, auto
  
  
  class LifeCycle(Enum):
      configure = auto()
      glob = auto()
      pre_render = auto()
      render = auto()
      post_render = auto()
      save = auto()

using the enum
──────────────

Enum’s are accessed directy under the class itself, and have primarily two methods underneath each thing you make, .name and .value.

[code]
  Lifecycle.glob
  Lifecycle.glob.value
  Lifecycle.glob.name
