[New-bugs-announce] [issue2842] Dictionary methods: inconsistency

[Chester]

New submission from Chester <wxpythoner at gmail.com>:

Names of dictionary methods are not consistent with Python's coding
style. Please fix the following method names:

1) fix    deepcopy    to be  deep_copy
2) fix    fromkeys    to be  from_keys
3) fix    popitem     to be  pop_item
4) fix    setdefault  to be  set_default

Please consider of renaming the method copy to shallow_copy. If you find
any other inconsistently named method, please fix it. Thank you.
