[pkg-boost-devel] Bug#523343: boost.python does not work with enums that have the same value

[Anderson Lizardo]

Package: boost1.38
Version: 1.38.0-3
Tags: patch

boost.python does not work with enums that have the same value, e.g.
wrapping the following enum using boost.python:

enum { red = 123, green = 123 };

Only either "red" or "green" will be available on the Python module,
because internally, boost maps this to a dictionary indexed by the
enum value.

I'd propose applying the latest version (v2.3) of the patch on the bug
report, attached to this report for convenience (just cleaned up to
remove some UTF-8 characters in the diff headers). No more comments
were made about it since then, and it works for me.
