<h2><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</h2>
<p><code><boost/python/enum.hpp></code> defines the
interface through which users expose their C++ enumeration types
to Python. It declares the
<code>enum_</code> class template, which is parameterized on the
enumeration type being exposed. </p>
<h2><a name="classes"></a>Classes</h2>
<h3><a name="enum_-spec"></a>Class template
<code>enum_<T></code></h3>
<p>Creates a Python class derived from Python's <code>int</code>
type which is associated with the C++ type passed as its first
parameter.
