Hi there, Exploring the Python standard library, I was surprised to see that several packages (ConfigParser, logging...) use mixed case for methods all over the place. I assume that they were written back when the Python styling guidelines were not well-defined.
Given that it's rather irritating (not to mention violating the principle of least surprise) to have this inconsistency, wouldn't it make sense to clean up the API by marking old-style, mixed-case methods as deprecated (but keep them around anyway) and add equivalent methods following the lowercase_with_underscores convention? On an unrelated note, it would be *really* nice to have a length property on strings. Even Java has that! Cheers, Emm -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
