using enums in jython

Question

Trying to use a Java Enum in Jython but I can't figure out how to use them.

when importing I see the enum listed as BotInterface$MOVE so I've put down the line

from amazebot2012.BotInterface import MOVE

In Java I would normally just use it as

bot.move(MOVE.FORWARD);
bot.move(MOVE.BACKWARD);

What is the Jython equivalent once I've imported it?

Trying bot.move(MOVE.FORWARD) gives me the error:

Undefined variable from import: FORWARD

afraid not, I did come across that answer but it just doesn't make any sense to me. — Nebri, Nov 16 '12 at 21:33
bot.move() method comes from a java api that I'm trying to interact with. I just need to figure out how to set the value of that enum from jython — Nebri, Nov 16 '12 at 21:33

Your import and reference seem correct.

I suspect this is a bug in your editing environment, if you're using PyDev/Anapta:

Thank you Matt! I had not even considered that the problem may be in my IDE. I ignored the problem and forced it to compile and everything runs perfectly. – Nebri Nov 18 '12 at 04:39
