# 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`.
