I think what Paul is referring to is that according to PEP 8:
- functions: Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by
underscores as necessary
to improve readability.
- types: Class names should normally use the CapWords convention.
And, of course:
- Names that are visible to the user as public parts of the API should follow
conventions that
reflect usage rather than implementation.
So, given those three items, should `str` be `str` because it is used often as a function, or should it be `Str` because
it is often subclassed?
