Hi Scott,

There are a few recipes in the Python Cookbook that mentions how to get a
"const" mechanism in Python:

    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65207
    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/197965

But I have to admit that I don't use this approach myself; I've been using
the uppercase convension, and it seems to work ok.


Good luck to you!
