Comment:
> I checked the list of [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/ref/django-
admin/ Django commands], and a long time ago I noticed that many of them
contain two or even three words but they are not separated. For example
`makemigrations`, `makemessages`, `changepassword` and `createsuperuser`.
Although I found commands with separated words such as
`remove_stale_contenttypes` (which I was not aware of until right now). I
checked [https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#function-and-variable-
names PEP 8] and there it is written:
Thanks for this ticket, however I don't think it's worth changing just to
follow PEP 8 it's really disruptive. In the case of such changes, it's
crucial to have a strong consensus and clear significant benefits.
> This is also relevant to `TestCase` methods such as `setUp` and
`tearDownClass`. Although there I assume Django inherits them from Python
the language, and maybe the changes should be done also there.
The `unittest` unit testing framework was originally inspired by JUnit
that's why it has camel-cased methods.
You can raise the idea on the DevelopersMailingList or the python-ideas
list (it was probably already raised) to reach a wider audience and see
what other think, however I don't think there would be consensus to change
that.
