Global Constants

Here you can find global constants. These constants define the data supported by the storage service and the standard parameter, maximum length of comments, messages for storing and loading etc.

This module contains constants defined for a global scale and used across most pypet modules.

It contains constants defining the maximum length of a parameter/result name or constants that are recognized by storage services to determine how to store and load data.
