Pylint invalid constant name

Question

I\'m receiving a Pylint error regarding my constant: MIN_SOIL_PARTICLE_DENS (invalid name). Any ideas why this constant is wrong? Here\'s my full function:

Answer 1

Few simple rules :

1. Constants should be defined with UPPER_CASE letters only and should be defined at the module level
2. Class names should be defined with CamelCase letters
3. Variables should be defined at lower_case and should be defined inside function, classes etc.

Now lets talk about your case,

MIN_SOIL_PARTICLE_DENS is defined inside a function and should have lower letters only. Thus instead of considering MIN_SOIL_PARTICLE_DENS as a constant, pylint considers it as a variable here and hence the pylint error.
