I posted my previous idea regarding this on the mailing list. This idea is a little different. This idea suggests introducing constant name bindings. This is similar to const pointer in C/C++. Once a name has been assigned to a data we can change the data (if mutable) but we cannot change the name to point to a different data. The only way the data the constant points can get deallocated is if it goes out of scope, the program exits or the constant is manually `del` by the user. The proposed syntax is as follows,
constant x = 10 constant y = ["List"] constant z: str = "Hi" Thanking you, With Regards _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list -- python-ideas@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-ideas-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-ideas.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/WEFUZH5P4RI47C44ULCBGM7MUVW5D6GA/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
