* The renaming is done inconsistently, e.g.

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 agree. Hopefully with a sensible reorganization, multi-word module names can be reduced as much as possible (e.g. email.MIMEText -> email.mime.text), but if not, then I don't have a problem with underscored module names in general. socket_server is fine, but I also think tkinter is fine since the later doesn't even contain real words <wink>. - -Barry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (Darwin) iQCVAwUBR5XgEXEjvBPtnXfVAQIbZwP/X8sWnnav6TWBuDnILlm6kavyR90rjgtd bHU4spMSCGP+OiVEXfpreB9i6MWhICF/Mx9Qb7wcWB229Y2eQyCvGwpMzyi5a7Uz PXSYNRK/n1btuyA2H+ickze41aM5nUj1YewsQGdUZmguViflOcTWO56pgcOD2iuz pvkSzZXkoFc= =F/D2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
