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

```
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.

``` python
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`.

``` python
Lifecycle.glob
Lifecycle.glob.value
Lifecycle.glob.name
```
