 Hi Neil: 
   As a season software developer, (although a relative
   newcomer to python) I'm well aware of both the
   pitfalls of using Global names,object,variables
   constants - and the advantages also.

   Perhaps I should have eliminated the word 'variable'
   from the subject. I would still like to have my
   question answered, and I intend to be fully informed
   on all caveats as well.
 
   regards
