I have a stylistic question. In most languages words in var. name are separated by underscores or cap letters, resulting in var names like var_name, VarName and varName. I don't like that very much because all 3 ways of naming look bad and/or hard to type. From what I understand, scheme can have variables like var-name. I'm curious about reasons that python chose to disallow this. Another question I have is what other languages allow this naming scheme? Were there any languages that allowed space as a separator? What would be a practical way to separate variables from keywords in that case? "some long variable name", 'just a string', or maybe using 2 spaces: one var + other var + third var ? I think being able to easy have very long names for vars that are easy to type would be a fairly significant advantage. I know I'm probably being too obsessive about this, but that didn't stop me from posting. Comments? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Groovy allows spaces in method names. See following request and thread: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GROOVY-2857 -- Kam-Hung Soh <a href="http://kamhungsoh.com/blog";>Software Salariman</a> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
