How do I make a constant global variable in Python Please

declare the variable as global inside the function you wish to use the
global variable, else you just create a new local variable of the same
name. eg:

foo = 1

def spam():
    #use the global foo
    global foo
    ...

def eggs():
    #this function has it's own foo
    foo = 2
    ...

OK?
