Create a collection of name/value pairs.

Example enumeration:

 >>> class 
 Color 
( Enum 
):
... RED 
= 1 
... BLUE 
= 2 
... GREEN 
= 3 
 

Access them by:

• attribute access:

   >>> Color.RED
  <Color.RED: 1> 
  

• value lookup:

   >>> Color(1)
  <Color.RED: 1> 
  

• name lookup:

   >>> Color['RED']
  <Color.RED: 1> 
  

Enumerations can be iterated over, and know how many members they have:

 >>> len(Color)
3 

 >>> list(Color)
[<Color.RED: 1>, <Color.BLUE: 2>, <Color.GREEN: 3>] 

Methods can be added to enumerations, and members can have their own attributes -- see the documentation for details.
