Enumerations
Enumeration is a common way to store values that can only represent a few states. Each symbolic name is bound to a specific value, usually numeric, that represents the states the enumeration can have.
Enumerations are very common in other programming languages, but until recently, Python didn't have any explicit support for enumerations.
