It might be sth. like
myname = ("Frogged", )
print(*myname * 3)

but it fails for numeric types

Answer 2

Python doesn't have constants. There is only a convention to write them in upper case and not to change those.

Wrapping them in a tuple prevents changes as your code shows, but complicates usage a little

Lisa That was my idea too at first but it still can be modified.

Then I've read about defining a function on stackoverflow. Not very elegant, but it does the job i.e. workaround:

Answer 5

What about creating an extra file for the constants and then importing your "constants" from there?

# In an extra myconst.py
MYNAME = "Lisa"

# then in script:
from my constant import MYNAME
print(MYNAME)
