enumeration means numbering, really.

People talk about enumations a fair bit cause they are used to
using "enum"'s
in C/C++, but the concept of an enumeration just means to have a
complete list
of all the things that are part of a group (a lot like what Bob
was quoting),
and there's tons of ways to represent that.
the verb enumeration (from websters) means: To count off or name
one by one;
list
... and you don't need to know any of this to use any pygame at all
------ Original Message ------
An enumeration is a series of things, like names, that have a number
explicitly associated to them. An example might be alphabetical
order, where A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, etc.
