I’ve written a small script in Python for simple text manipulation, consisting of a bunch of functions. Some of these functions contain magic numbers or string constants. Is it okay to store them in global variables? I do not intent to modify them, they are more like constants.
Yes, it’s legimitate use. You will encounter that in many good Python codes. Just note that the convention is to write the names of such “constants” in
UPPER_CASE.
