One approach that I have used for similar purposes is to generate the appropriate header files (or module or whatever) from a simple text file for all the required uses.

Since you already know python this should be pretty easy. Quick "proof of concept" follows. (Warning: I barely know any python.)

One downside to this is that you have to remember to regenerate the header/module each time you update the enum (keys or values) - don't forget to recompile for the C++ part. If you have a build system, it is best to integrate that code generation step into it.

A variation of this is to parse one of the language's source code to extract the definition and output it in a format suitable for the other. That is generally much harder to do though if you want to make it robust.
