As of Python 3, we can redefine something that used to be a keyword, which is even stronger than a constant. def print(*args,print=print,**kw): print("##",*args,**kw) What easier way to tag all your print calls? And this is why it helps to have nothing technically constant. You should be able to do the same with anything, without having to go and edit someone else's code to remove the 'const' keyword.
