Hey all,
I've done the usual googling, checked the Learning Python book and did
some list searches, to no avail as of yet.
I'm _very_ used to using C style constants (preprocessor #define
directives) or C++ const keyword style, for a variety of reasons.
I've yet to see anything covering 'how

constants in Python'...can anyone point me in the right direction
here?

There are a few recipes in the Python Cookbook that mentions how to get a

These require Python 2.1 and 2.3 respectively;
Compared to Java and C++, Python has very meager facilities
for controlling how code is used. There is no const, and only
the slightest nod to access control my
suggestion is, just relax and try the Python way!
I'll second that. I came to Python after years of C++
