Surely that's backwards? If the constants don't share any conceptual
commonality, they should be kept independent in the functions and not made
global.

k = 2.5

def population(n):
    """Return the total population of n families."""
    return k*n

def calculate_leave(n):
    """Return the number of days of leave after working n days."""
    return n/10*k
