No, simpler. No class statememt necessarily needed.
module constants
----------------
radius_of_earth = 6.37122E+6
days_as_yrs = 1.0 / 365.25
m2_as_ha = 1E-4 # metres squared as hectares
g_as_tonnes = 1E-6 # grammes as tonnes
kg_as_tonnes = 1E-3 # kg as tonnes
kg_as_g = 1E+3
# could also have code to load stuff from other files
usage
=====
>>> import constants
>>> constants.kg_as_g
1000.0
Real example
>>> import math
>>> math.pi, math.e
