flufl.enum 3.3.2

A Python enumeration package.

==========
flufl.enum
==========

A Python enumeration package.

The ``flufl.enum`` library is yet another Python enumeration package. Its
goal is to provide simple, specific, concise semantics in an easy to read and
write syntax. ``flufl.enum`` has just enough of the features needed to make
enumerations useful, but without a lot of extra baggage to weigh them down.
This work grew out of the Mailman 3.0 project.
