I've already given one. Since Python is dynamically typed changing a critical variable can cause huge instability. Want a demonstration? Here we go,
import sys sys.stdout = None Now what? Now how can we print anything? Isn't this a bug? There are lots of code out there where we need to protect things from being overwritten. Though I'm never telling to use constants in Python stdlib or else I could have never done this demonstration. :) _______________________________________________ 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/VIDMLLVPQBHCNJSM5ZYXRWH5EEOLNKYS/ Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
