Paul's right, and I'm senile :-)

The only discussion of "const" that I found is in Paul's own email at:

  http://www.python.org/pipermail/types-sig/1999-December/000599.html


I must be thinking of another concept that was raised and subsequently
dismissed...

Cheers,

p.s. I'd recommend assignment enforcement over the notion of const; the
     former seems to be more easily enforcable at runtime.
