ITYM convenient_programming_language. See PEP 8, Naming Conventions, Method Names and Instance Variables (the language as we know it is an instance of a convenient programming language).¹
I'm not so sure about that. Is it an instance or a subclass? Seems to me that the language specification would be a base class (maybe an abstract base class) and each implementation would subclass that with appropriate method overrides. In that case, ConvenientProgrammingLanguage would be correct by PEP 8 (or is that CPLEP 8 now?).
