# Declarations in stubs Unlike regular Python modules, stub files often declare module-global variables without initializing them. If these symbols are then used in the same stub, applying regular logic would lead to an undefined variable access error. However, from the perspective of the type checker, we should treat something like `symbol: type` the same as `symbol: type = ...`. In other words, assume these are bindings too. ```pyi from typing import Literal CONSTANT: Literal[42] # No error here, even though the variable is not initialized. uses_constant: int = CONSTANT ```
