Study Notes

Global Constants in Python

  • A global constant in Python is a variable whose value remains unchanged throughout the program.
  • Global constants should be defined at the top-level of a module, outside of any function or class.
  • There is no 'const' keyword in Python, and global constants are simply defined using uppercase letters and underscores (e.g., MY_CONSTANT).
  • Despite the convention, the value of a global constant can be changed during runtime, but it's discouraged to do so to maintain code readability and maintainability.
