Import constant from external file into python

Question

I would like to import a constant from an external file. I have two files in one directory. constants.py file:

SOME_CONSTANT = 'something'

And import this into settings.py

import constants

someVariable = constants.SOME_CONSTANT

But pylint write that Module 'constants' has no 'SOME_CONSTANT' member

Answer 1

Can't really tell how you made your constants, but ideally you'd want to store them in your class.

#Constants.Py
class Province:
    CITY = 'Toronto'

#Settings.Py
from Constants import Province
someVariable = Province.CITY
>>> 'Toronto'
