      Known subclasses: twisted.python.constants.FlagConstant, twisted.python.constants.NamedConstant, twisted.python.constants.ValueConstant
| Instance Variable | name | A str giving the name of this constant; only set once the 
constant is initialized by _ConstantsContainer. | 
  
| Method | __init__ | Undocumented | 
| Method | __repr__ | Return text identifying both which constant this is and which collection it belongs to. | 
| Method | __lt__ | Implements <.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order. | 
  
| Method | __le__ | Implements <=.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order. | 
  
| Method | __gt__ | Implements >.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order. | 
  
| Method | __ge__ | Implements >=.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order. | 
  
| Instance Variable | _index | A int allocated from a shared counter in order to keep track 
of the order in which _Constants 
are instantiated. | 
  
| Instance Variable | _container | The _ConstantsContainer
subclass this constant belongs to; None until the constant is 
initialized by that subclass. | 
  
| Method | _realize | Complete the initialization of this _Constant. | 
  
int allocated from a shared counter in order to keep track 
of the order in which _Constants 
are instantiated.
  str giving the name of this constant; only set once the 
constant is initialized by _ConstantsContainer.
  _ConstantsContainer
subclass this constant belongs to; None until the constant is 
initialized by that subclass.
  Return text identifying both which constant this is and which collection it belongs to.
Implements <.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order.
| Parameters | other | An object. | 
| Returns | NotImplemented if other is not a constant 
belonging to the same container as this constant, True if this
constant is defined before other, otherwise 
False. | |
Implements <=.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order.
| Parameters | other | An object. | 
| Returns | NotImplemented if other is not a constant 
belonging to the same container as this constant, True if this
constant is defined before or equal to other, otherwise 
False. | |
Implements >.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order.
| Parameters | other | An object. | 
| Returns | NotImplemented if other is not a constant 
belonging to the same container as this constant, True if this
constant is defined after other, otherwise False. | |
Implements >=.  Order is defined by instantiation 
order.
| Parameters | other | An object. | 
| Returns | NotImplemented if other is not a constant 
belonging to the same container as this constant, True if this
constant is defined after or equal to other, otherwise 
False. | |
Complete the initialization of this _Constant.
| Parameters | container | The _ConstantsContainer
subclass this constant is part of. | 
| name | The name of this constant in its container. | |
| value | The value of this constant; not used, as named constants have no value apart from their identity. |
