Name your modules "send_email.py" or "sort_email.py" or if it's a

That does not solve anything,
Of course it does, it solves the problem of having poorly-named
modules. It also helps reduce possibility of name clashes.
Actually don't you think it will increase the possibility ? There are
much less possibilties of properly naming an object than badly naming it.
So if everybody tend to properly name their object with their obvious
version like you proposed, the set of possible names will decrease,
increasing the clash ratio.
I'm just nitpicking by the way, but it may be better to ask for better
namespacing instead of naming (which is good thing but unrelated to the
OP issue).
