How to document a module constant in Python?

Question

I have a module, errors.py in which several global constants are defined (note: I understand that Python doesn\'t have constants, but I\'ve defined them by conv

Answer 1

Writing only because I haven't seen this option in the answers so far:

You can also define your constants as functions that simply return the desired constant value when called, so for example:

def get_const_my_const() -> str:
    """Returns 'my_const'."""
    return "my_const"

This way they'll be a bit "more constant" on one hand (less worrying about reassignment) and they'll also provide the opportunity for regular documentation, as with any other function.
