How do you create constants?

[Tom wright]

Hi All,

I am a newbie to python, and I have the following question,

in c++ I can create a constant through something like an enum, or a const
variable or a static.  How do I go about doing something similar to this in
python, e.g.

I want to create a python file/class which contains all my constants for
ease of use/maintenance.  I then wish to use these from various other
files/classes.  Now I understand that due to the scoping of python
variables, I can not simply reference variables in a separate module, but
how can I achieve something similar to my global defines file as in c++, by
the way, the defines would be constant strings and integers.

I am sure there is an easy way to do this, but I havnt found it yet !!

TIA for pointers

Regards

Tom
