Comment(by hugo.lima_at_[hidden]):

 Yeah, but I did not want to change the API or the current behaviour of the
 current boost::python based bindings with this patch. IMHO, values
 attribute should be a dict that maps name->value. But this will change the
 current API of all enums generated by boost python.

 Adding a new "name" attribute without any real usecase may only increase
 the memory footprint with this dict. So, not changing the API and fixing a
 bug is good enough for now :-). What you think about?
