Well, there is PEP 8, which has this to say on the subject:
"Package and Module Names
"Modules should have short, all-lowercase names. Underscores can be used in the module name if it improves readability. Python packages should also have short, all-lowercase names, although the use of underscores is discouraged."
Doh, I was sloppy in my terminology. I should have said "distribution name". We're talking about the names used in PyPI, the Python Distribution index. ;) Also the value passed to the "name" argument of setup. Sorry for the confusion. :) Jim -- Jim Fulton mailto:jim@zope.com Python Powered! CTO (540) 361-1714 http://www.python.org Zope Corporation http://www.zope.com http://www.zope.org
