In comp.lang.python, there has been some discussion of the fact that there are no guidelines in PEP 8 for constants:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browsethread/thread/ed964fe8ad6da7b7 Is there any sentiment that PEP 8 should be updated to reflect the common usage of ALLCAPS for constants? It makes sense to codify this usage in PEP 8. I think it's by far the most common convention adopted by projects that set their own style guide based on PEP 8 with local additions.
Do you suggest underscores between words in constants as with other names?
