There should either always be an underscore to separate words, or none.
I don't think that underscores in module names are particularly nice, so I'd opt for going with the no-underscores versions.
The main reason for the move away from camelCase was that non-native English speakers claimed that it was easier to find the words when under_scores was used instead of camelCase. I assume the same argument applies here: under_scores is better than runtogetherwords.
I guess it's a matter of taste. Either way, please stick to one convention instead of mixing the two, ie. "socket_server", "tk_inter", etc. FWIW: I always liked the CamelCase module names and still use them in projects. Never understood the reason for outlawing them in PEP8 - even less so, since there was a time when using CamelCase was actually considered better than all-lower-case (ok, that's probably about 10 years ago :-).
