I get what you expect:

$ cat bug.py
class EnumSectionContentType(object):
    DATABYTE = 2
    DATADOUBLEWORD = 3
    DATAWORD = 4
#LABEL = 0

def _getStringOfElements(elements):
    objectFileString = ""

    elements = [{'type': 2, 'data': {'elements': ['83H', '0FAH', '9AH', '27H', '81H', '49H', '0CEH', '11H']}}]

    for iterationElement in elements:
        objectFileString += "INSIDE1 "
        
        if iterationElement["type"] == EnumSectionContentType.LABEL:
            objectFileString +=  iterationElement["data"]["labelname"] + ":" + "\n"
        elif iterationElement["type"] == EnumSectionContentType.DATABYTE:
            objectFileString += "INSIDE" + "\n"

            if   iterationElement["type"] == EnumSectionContentType.DATADOUBLEWORD:
                objectFileString += objectFileString + "dd "
            elif iterationElement["type"] == EnumSectionContentType.DATABYTE:
                objectFileString += objectFileString + "db "

    return objectFileString

print(_getStringOfElements(None))
$ python3.4 bug.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "bug.py", line 27, in <module>
    print(_getStringOfElements(None))
  File "bug.py", line 15, in _getStringOfElements
    if iterationElement["type"] == EnumSectionContentType.LABEL:
AttributeError: type object 'EnumSectionContentType' has no attribute 'LABEL'

Are you absolutely sure you are invoking the right bug.py?
(I think on windows you can use type instead of cat to see 
the file contents).
