78 """Return a tuple describing an enumaration SCons Variable.
80 An Enum Variable is an abstraction that allows choosing one
81 value from a provided list of possibilities (*allowed_values*).
82 The value of *ignorecase* defines the behavior of the
83 validator and converter: if ``0``, the validator/converter are
84 case-sensitive; if ``1``, the validator/converter are case-insensitive;
85 if ``2``, the validator/converter are case-insensitive and the
86 converted value will always be lower-case.
88 Arguments:
89 key: the name of the variable.
90 default: default value, passed directly through to the return tuple.
91 help: descriptive part of the help text,
92 will have the allowed values automatically appended.
93 allowed_values: the values for the choice.
94 map: optional dictionary which may be used for converting the
95 input value into canonical values (e.g. for aliases).
96 ignorecase: defines the behavior of the validator and converter.
98 Returns:
99 A tuple including an appropriate converter and validator.
100 The result is usable as input to :meth:`~SCons.Variables.Variables.Add`.
101 and :meth:`~SCons.Variables.Variables.AddVariables`.
103 # these are all inner functions so they can access EnumVariable locals.
