На жаль, у Python поки що немає констант, і це соромно. ES6 вже додав константи підтримки до JavaScript ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/const ), оскільки це дуже корисна річ у будь-якій мові програмування. Як було сказано в інших відповідях у спільноті Python, використовуйте змінну верхнього регістру convention - user як константи, але це не захищає від довільних помилок у коді. Якщо вам подобається, вам може бути корисно однофайлове рішення наступним чином (див. Документації, як ним користуватися).

"""
Implementation strict constants in Python 3.
A constant can be set up, but can not be changed or deleted.
Value of constant may any immutable type, as well as list or set.
Besides if value of a constant is list or set, it will be converted in an immutable type as next:
list -> tuple
set -> frozenset
Dict as value of a constant has no support.

Переваги: 1. Доступ до всіх констант для цілого проекту 2. Суворий контроль за значеннями констант
Недоліки: 1. Не підтримує спеціальні типи та тип 'dict'
