Can someone please point out the major differences concerning Python code between PEP 8 and the Zope 3 style guide?
The primary differences are in method, attribute, function, and variable names. PEP 8 specifies lower_case_with_underscores.
Zope 3, more often than not (as noted by others, inconsistencies exists), follows these conventions:
http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/ZopePythonNamingConventions specifies CamelCase for "Public global variables" (not exactly sure what all that encompasses) and lower_case_with_underscores for local variables. The same page prescribes mixedCase for module-level (non-factory) functions.
http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/ClassesAttributesMethods specifies mixedCase for attributes and methods.
BTW: http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/CodingStyle (like most of the Wiki) is a mess. I may cut out some outdated chunks (including 5 year old comments) if no one objects. Are there any guidelines for the wiki? I looked but couldn't find any.
