Paper Dynasty discord-app has two constants.py files:
|
|
1. discord-app/constants.py (root) - authoritative, updated regularly
|
|
2. discord-app/helpers/constants.py - created during refactoring, becomes stale
|
|
|
|
helpers/__init__.py does:
|
|
from helpers.main import * # Gets PD_SEASON from root
|
|
from .constants import * # OVERWRITES with stale value!
|
|
|
|
This causes helpers.PD_SEASON to differ from constants.PD_SEASON even when both files are in the same codebase.
|
|
|
|
Future Fix Options:
|
|
1. Remove helpers/constants.py entirely, use root constants.py only
|
|
2. Have helpers/constants.py import from root: from constants import *
|
|
3. Use explicit imports instead of wildcard star imports
