No - this is better discussed on python-dev. In any case, there isn't technically a contradiction. Module names MUST be either MixedCase or lowercase; they SHOULD be lowercase. So unfortunately, for tradition, some module names are mixed case (such as ConfigParser or StringIO). I can personally accept that as a necessary evil, although I would prefer if all modules were lower case. Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
