I really only meant that as a friendly jab. Your code just seems to have
more underscores than other python code I work with. And while you are
consistent in your use of underscores and such, the same can't be said about
Python library as a whole, other than the fact that it seems to not have too
many underscores.

But that's a battle I didn't intend to fight, especially since I'm not sure
which side I'd be on. Some days I like camelCaps (maybe because I'm working
with wxPython that day) and other days I prefer underscores (maybe because
I'm working with Quixote or Optik). So even my own code is not completely
consistent as I will sometimes vary my style depending on what other modules
I'm using.

But I have to admit there are days when I wished a naming standard was
enforced so I wouldn't have to think about it.
