You mean: evaluate a string like this:

'''
import enum

class FooBar(enum.Enum):
    FOO = 1
    BAR = 2
    BAZ = 3
'''

And then pull in the FooBar type from the resulting dictionary into my
C code? Sounds good actually. I think I'll be able to add the FooBar
type to another type's tp_dict too - because some enums I want to
create will be nested in other classes.
