Note a sharp distinction between camelCaseNames, which the Python community eschews, versus TitleCaseNames, which are embraced for names of classes. > See PEP 008 for 'preferred Python Style' -- such as it is, but be > aware that if you join a project it is more important to follow the > conventions used there than to hop up and down saying ....'This is not > PEP 008 !' Yes. If you're looking for a style guide, choose PEP 8, because your style will then be maximally familiar to others when you inevitably need to collaborate with some other people. If you're joining a community that doesn't have consistently-enforced, coherent conventinos, make a strong push for PEP 8 for the same reason. But if you're joining an existing community that has chosen a coherent convention which it enforces consistently, go with that. -- \ “We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty!” | `\ —Vroomfondel, _The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy_, Douglas | _o__) Adams | Ben Finney _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
