"PEP 622: Ditch leading dots for name loads": this is now an ex-syntax, it is bereft of life (for this, draft, of the PEP, might come back later!): https://github.com/python/peps/commit/f1de4f169d762cbb46fbfe94d2c01839db9b2f07 In there, it makes a good point that namespaced constants are good, especially for this kind of thing (you probably want to e.g. match over a bunch of possible constants which you can then put in an enum or some other namespace).
