There is no need to change this, but to follow this.
I checked new added modules for last python versions and most modules
used lowercase with "_" (foo_bar).
But "datetiem" doesn't. There "_" is lost and all is lowercase
like "fromtimestamp" or "utcfromtimestamp" or "toordinal".
I thought this should be "from_timestamp" or "to_ordinal".
But I'm not a native speaker.
