Using SDK/C++ Enumerated Types in Python

[Eusebius]

Okay, maybe everyone else knew this, but I just figured out how to use enumerated types in Python.

For example, functions like getStateReligionCommerce want a commerce type. Often one just puts in the corresponding integer; but you don't need to. It turns out that all the enumerated types are exported to Python, so you just create an object of that type.

Example follows...

def getTotalStateReligionCommerce(self):
ct = CommerceTypes()
return (self.getStateReligionCommerce(ct.COMMERCE_GOLD) + self.getStateReligionCommerce(ct.COMMERCE_RESEARCH) + self.getStateReligionCommerce(ct.COMMERCE_CULTURE))
