Is there a cleaner way to define global variables so that they're all in one line?
Currently I have:
SUCCESS = 0 # Declarations spanning multiple lines
FAIL = 0
TARGET = os.getcwd()
TIMEOUT = 2
MAXDEPTH = 0
ORIGINAL = ''
PATHS = {}
def main():
aNumber,aString = 1,'hello' # Declarations in one line
print aString
main()
it's much more readable as separate lines (especially if you line them up):
SUCCESS = 0
FAIL = 0
TARGET = os.getcwd()
TIMEOUT = 2
MAXDEPTH = 0
ORIGINAL = ''
PATHS = {}
But if you really want to do it in a single line, sure!
SUCCESS, FAIL, TARGET, TIMEOUT, MAXDEPTH, ORIGINAL, PATHS = 0, 0, os.getcwd(), 2, 0, '', {}
Put them in a separate .py file (with a sensible name) and then
from other_file import *
Sticking them all on one line is a terrible idea for readability
But it's not a good idea when you have many variables, it's not user readable, it is used when you have few varibles to initialize.
SUCCESS, FAIL, TARGET, TIMEOUT, MAXDEPTH, ORIGINAL, PATHS = 0, 0, os.getcwd(), 2, 0, '', {}
