I'd say noun_verb (note the underscore in accordance with the style guide in PEP 8): http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ Function Names Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability. mixedCase is allowed only in contexts where that's already the prevailing style (e.g. threading.py), to retain backwards compatibility. -- Gerald Britton -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
