Haha, that .py and .cpp is not for humans, but for python and g++ :-)

I'm not sure if it's checked in the C++ part of the wrapper, (cannot
tell you, never checked it),
but they do a ton of run-time checks for types, throwing python
exceptions for bad situations.

But for enums, I don't know, I'm checking and I tell you in some minutes.

We should avoid that situation.
