[Python-checkins] CVS: python/nondist/peps pep-0008.txt,1.5,1.6

[Barry Warsaw]

Update of /cvsroot/python/python/nondist/peps
In directory usw-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv13999

Modified Files:
	pep-0008.txt 
Log Message:
Roger <roger.haase@usa.net> points out that "mixed case" is
inconsistently used both to describe mixedCase and MixedCase.
MixedCase should really be CapWords, reserving mixedCase for the
situation where the first letter is lowercased.

Also, add a comment that MixedCase is sometimes called CamelCase.
Note that the existing most common case usage is that CamelCase has an
initial capitalized letter.

!       Module names can be either MixedCase or lowercase.  There is no
