[Python-ideas] Re: Introduce constants in Python (constant name binding)

[Shreyan Avigyan]

I'm aware that Python is a "Consenting Adults" language but I think Python 
should provide this functionality at least. This idea doesn't actually make it 
like Java. Because why should we mess around with that member anyway. Sometimes 
we want to provide members that users must use but mustn't change. Well if the 
user does, then "crash"! Suppose we have filename member and we must access 
that but if we change it by any chance then what will happen is Python will not 
close the file instead it will create a new file leaving it in an undefined 
state - "Half written half not".
