You might be referring to what I have proposed.
Note that the idiom is in use in some standard python modules
(socket.py, ftplib.py, argparse.py, optparse.py). It is used extensively
in sre_compile.py/sre_constants.py:
ANY = "any"
[...]
AT = "at"
[...]
CALL = "call"
[...]
IN = "in"

[...]
elif op is ANY:
[...]
elif op is CALL:
[...]
