Overriding a constant in a module

Question

I'm using the Python Pygatt module (https://github.com/ampledata/pygatt/tree/master/pygatt).

The classes.py file imports pygatt.constants which sets a few constants. I cannot figure out how to override these constants in my file foo.py I've tried:

import pygatt

pygat.classes.pygatt.constants.DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_S = 8

But it doesn't work. I'm very confused and it's probably something dumb that I'm doing. Your help would be appreciated!

try this:

from pygatt.classes import pygatt
pygatt.constants.DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMEOUT_S = 8

When you say it does not work, what do you mean? did it throw an error or just did not pick up the change at runtime? – Medhat Gayed Jul 01 '15 at 04:37
also note you have a typo in the example, the first "pygat" missing a "t" – Medhat Gayed Jul 01 '15 at 04:45
