Just do what you did above, without the "const" modifier, which
doesn't exist and is not really needed in Python.

This code should work fine, although you might want to follow
the Python conventions for capitalization and formatting of
your code, to make it more readable for others.  For example,
variables and functions are generally mixed case, as in checkdir
or dir, while constants are usually ALLCAPS as in CONST_UP.
