Hey guys I am thinking of perhaps writing a PEP to introduce constants to
Python. Something along the lines of Swift’s “let” syntax (e.g. “let pi =
3.14”).
Since I’m sort of new to this, I just wanted to ask:
- Has a PEP for this already been written? If so, where can I find the
link/info to it?
- Do you guys think it would be a good idea? Why or why not? Do you think
there’s a better way to do it? I’d like to know what others think about this
idea before making any formal submission.
I don't know if a PEP like this has been attempted before. They are all
in one place (https://github.com/python/peps/), so it's not hard to find
out.
But talking about it here first will be a good way to flesh out your
ideas, hear the most likely objections, and so forth.
Start by telling us: Why should Python have constants? Be specific:
what current problems would it solve?
