How to assign a binary zero character to a variable in python?

Question

Like in perl we do:

use constant MSG_TERMINATOR => "\0";

where MSG_TERMINATOR is a variable.

What is the way of do the same in python?

Simply define a variable:

MSG_TERMINATOR = "\0"

@RishabhSoni: \00 and \0 are both valid octal character specifications, \x00 specifies the value as hexadecimal. See Escape Sequences in C.
