"Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability." -- PEP 8
If I'm reading this correctly, then underscores are not required everywhere. Can some of these be shortened?
function:: active_count() method:: Thread.get_name() method:: Thread.is_alive() method:: Thread.is_daemon() method:: Thread.set_daemon(daemonic)
In some cases, the mental pronounciation changes and affects my perception of meaning. For example, Thread.setName or Thread.setname both feel like a setter to me, but Thread.set_name causes a mental pause and a momentary double-take (is it the name of a set?).
Actually, in this case, I think the Pythonic thing to do would be to use properties. -- Cheers, Benjamin Peterson "There's no place like 127.0.0.1."
