I actually suggest a different kind of Constant in Python not the classical const we see in Java or C/C++.
Constants doesn't mean we can't reassign the name to a different value. Constants behave like literals. They are sort of literals actually. We reference a value by a name. Variable is just a reference to a value and can change to provide reference to another value. Constants on the other hand are name for a value. So constant is a name we can alternatively use for a value. So 10 is same as constant while 10 is same as the value dereferenced by variable. I propose this logic to work behind the scenes though not sure whether this is possible at all. _______________________________________________ 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/NTDZ4EZGKCWRK7FX7WGKF3MOWQUIRT3U/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
