Python Tutorial 3.3a
3. An informal introduction to python
example:
-------------------------------------------------------------
# this is the first comment
SPAM = 1 # and this is the second comment
# ... and now a third!
STRING = "# This is not a comment."
-------------------------------------------------------------
Comment: It is probably best to use PEP 8 straight from the start.
Therefore variable names should be all lowercase with connecting underscores (if necessary)
i.e. spam = 1 and string = "#This is not a comment." instead of all uppercase.

It's fine as it is; constants are often denoted with capital letters. |

Indeed, PEP 8 mandates that constants be written in all uppercase, so changing it would actually make it deviate from PEP 8. Also, using a lower-case variable name "string" would be a bad choice because it collides with a module name. |
