[Andriy Kornatskyy]

PEP8 consistency is a question to the development team commitment. Nothing prevents you add pep8 checks to build process, contribute fixes.

This inconsistency has been analyzed for various web frameworks recently:

No much in the list are paying attention to this...

> But one thing that often confuses people : function naming. The 
> standard library is kind of inconsistent. Some functions are separated 
> by underscores and others aren't. It's not intuitive and new 
> pythonistas end up constantly reading the doc. (Time saving one char 
> typing vs time guessing function names.)
