# Python naming conventions

## Underscores

To name a variable or method with multiple words we use underscores to separate
each word.

```python
an_int = 32
print(an_integer.is_integer) # true
```

## Constants

There are no constants in Python. However there a pseudo-constants established
by convention. To denote that a variable should not change you use `UPPER_CASE`.
