How do I create a constant in Python?

In Python, a constant is typically defined as a variable that is assigned a value that should not be modified later on in the program.

In Python, a constant is typically defined as a variable that is assigned a value that should not be modified later on in the program. To create a constant in Python, you can use an uppercase variable name and assign it a value, as in the following example:

Create a constant in Python

PI = 3.14

<div class="alert alert-info flex not-prose"> Watch a course <span class="hidden md:block">Watch a video course </span> Python - The Practical Guide</div>

It is a convention in Python to use uppercase variable names for constants, although this is not enforced by the language itself. However it is not a language level feature and you are free to use any naming conventions and methods to make sure the variable is not modified later on in the program.
