Infelizmente, o Python ainda não tem constantes e é uma pena. O ES6 já adicionou constantes de suporte ao JavaScript ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/const ), pois é algo muito útil em qualquer linguagem de programação. Conforme respondido em outras respostas na comunidade Python, use a variável convention - user uppercase como constantes, mas ela não protege contra erros arbitrários no código. Se desejar, pode ser considerada uma solução de arquivo único útil a seguir (consulte as instruções de como usá-la).

"""
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.

Vantagens: 1. Acesso a todas as constantes para todo o projeto 2. Controle rigoroso dos valores das constantes
Falta: 1. Não suporta tipos personalizados e o tipo 'dict'
Notas:
Testado com Python3.4 e Python3.5 (eu uso o 'tox' para isso)
