So do I. And I just looked at the linked video, and notice that it's originally about Java. There's no obvious reason to me that Java conventions should transfer to Python. Java has "public static final" to declare actual constants (yay Java terseness! :-)) and has no global scope (so the all-caps is at class level, not global). -1 on this proposal. With all the "style checker" tools out there, even if it's only an optional suggestion, it'll end up getting mandated all over the place...
