In addition to what famousactress said, you also get: >>> Color.red <Color.red: 1> So when you print out an enumeration, you get its name instead of just the number.

Which of the following would you prefer? >>> gl.getError() 1286 Or would you prefer, >>> gl.getError() <gl.INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION: 1286>
