Which is the more accepted way to compose method names nounVerb or
verbNoun?
For example voltageGet or getVoltage? getVoltage sounds more normal,
but voltageGet is more like voltage.Get. I seem to mix them and I
should probably pick one way and stick with it.
Use properties[1] and just call it `voltage`. Python is not Java [2];
explicit getters/setters are unpythonic.

Maybe I'm not using Get right either. I'm wrapping functions.
def AbbeGet(self, Lens):
"""
Get the Abbe Number V for the material
where
V = (Nd - 1)/(Nf - Nc)
where the Index of Refractions are
Nd at the Fraunhofer D line 0.5892um
Nf at the Fraunhofer F line 0.4861um
Nc at the Fraunhofer C line 0.6563um
"""
Nd = Lens.Mat.NtGet(0.5892)
Nf = Lens.Mat.NtGet(0.4861)
Nc = Lens.Mat.NtGet(0.6563)
if (Nf - Nc) != 0:
V = (Nd - 1)/(Nf - Nc)
else:
V = 1e6
return V
# end AbbeGet
Consider this piece of code:
x = 2*sin( angle )
versus this:
x = 2*get_sin( angle )
or this:
x = 2*sin_get( angle )
