At first draft of my email I wrote "class" operating under the assumption that only classes got to be camel-cased. If I had to guess, the rationale was that they are simply wrappers a class. Nevertheless, tempfile dates well back before the PEP 8 style guidelines. I think consistency would dictate that a newly added function should match the other ones, but I have no strong feelings about this.
I wouldn't bet on that. The ElementTree XML module was added to Python 2.5 and it does not follow PEP 8 style (method names are not words separated by underscores). -- Gustavo J. A. M. Carneiro "The universe is always one step beyond logic."
