PEP-008 didn't exist since the beginning of Python's development. Cookie 
(I believe) predates PEP-008.

the document you're quoting also says:

This document was adapted from Guido's original Python Style
Guide essay[2]

where [2] points to a document that says:

Module names can be either MixedCase or lowercase.
There is no unambiguous convention to decide which
to use. Modules that export a single class (or a number
of closely related classes, plus some additional support)
are often named in MixedCase, with the module name
being the same as the class name (e.g. the standard
StringIO module). Modules that export a bunch of
functions are usually named in all lowercase.

Sure it does.  The subject line says "conventions", and a convention 
isn't a firm rule, just something many people agree on.  Obviously the 
author of Cookie has different preferences.  Nobody is bound by a 
convention.

The PEP describes what is widespread but not universal preference, 
that's all.

quoting:

this still doesn't explain Cookie.

Library Naming Conventions.

2005-04-30 Thread chris . lyon 
Is there any specific naming convention as to capitalisation?

Cookies versus cgi for example.
