They are not identified as anything. Pylint sees that those names are
not bound to imported names, functions, or classes so they should be
constant. If they are not you are mutating global objects. Which is
bad style. There are good reasons for mutating global objects, but
they are rare. For those occasions you can use the comment mechanism
to tell pylint not to check those names.
