 In the C++ counterpart we intentionally define them via proxy
 functions like RRType::A() to avoid static initialization fiasco.
 But there's no such reason for the Python version, and using a
 function looks awkward (and would be less efficient).  These should be
 defined as normal constant in the C++ wrappers.

 Those include: `RRType`, `RRClass`, `Opcode`, and `Rcode` (and perhaps
 more).
