Urm... let me correct that: 2. Never start a function or method with a UPPERCASE letter. Initial uppercase should be reserved for class names only -- and any number of leading underscores does not affect that rule because underscores are not in the set [A-Za-z]! You don't want these: def __IllegalName def _IllegalName def IllegalName But these are okay: def __legalName def _legalName def legalName These are preferred, however, i detest superfluous underscores! def __legal_name def _legal_name def legal_name -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
