8 years ago I've changed a bit the examples for Constant http://evmorov.github.io/lang-compare/ruby-coffeescript/#other_structure_constant. Now I'm making an attempt to change a constant.
Result:
- Ruby shows a warning but lets to change the var
- CoffeeScript doesn't show a warning (or maybe I should turn it on?) but doesn't let to change the var
- Java gives you an error on compilation phase
- PHP shows a warning and doesn't let to change the var
For me, this project isn't a full language reference but more a rather small cheat sheet to refresh my knowledge when I need to write something in a language that I don't use often.
What I want to say that there is no dogma. I don't know Python but if you think that it can be useful to provide an example for you and for other people and will not insult anyone - do it. Also, if people use such constants in real projects it's another reason to add it.

What should be shown in code examples under Constant and Constant list sections?
Python does not have such thing as constant, but have a naming convention for variables that supposed to be used as constants.
Can I add example with python constants using conventional approach, rather than real constants?
