[Python-ideas] Re: Adding pep8-casing-compliant aliases for the entire stdlib

I think what Paul is referring to is that according to PEP 8: - functions: Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability. - types: Class names should normally use the CapWords convention. And, of course: - Names that are visible to the user as public parts of the API should follow conventions that reflect usage rather than implementation. So, given those three items, should `str` be `str` because it is used often as a function, or should it be `Str` because it is often subclassed? -- ~Ethan~
