In my code: * The most common form of a function/method name is verb_noun. Other common patterns are adjective_noun, noun_to_noun or noun2noun (for conversions), and noun_of_noun. * Classes nearly always have AdjectiveNoun names. * Loop indices often have single-letter names (typically i/j/k or x/ y), or names that are the singular form of the list name (e.g., "for ballot in self._ballots"). For iterating over files, I use "line". -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
