Global variables and coding style recommendations
global-variables, python
Solution
Your code doesn't really do anything, so I guess it's fine! With regards to styling your code, refer to PEP 8 whenever you're in doubt.
Global Variables
Constants
With no more information than you've already given us, I'd have to say your conventions are ok.
Strictly adhering to PEP-8 isn't necessary however. The general consensus tends to be "Keep your code consistent". It can be confusing reading through a PEP-8 formatted file only to stumble into "blocks" of Java-esque or Hungarian notation code.
Problem
This question is quite general but it's more for me to understand good coding practices in python... I'd like to define a constant that I can use inside in any function without having to pass it as argument, and without the need to change it anywhere after its declared - maybe it'd be nice to make it impossible to change but not sure if i can do that. What'd be the best way to do this, in terms of programming style (coding, name convention, etc.) I.e., GLOBAL_CONSTANT='this_variable_will_not_be_changed' My python code would have this form, is it good style as well? ``` #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import os GLOBAL_CONSTANT='this_variable_will_not_be_changed' def test(): print GLOBAL_CONSTANT return 0 def main(): test() return 0 if __name__ == "__main__": main() ```
