The set of naming conventions has a cardinality equal to the 
number of Python users.

Generally agreed:
 class names are Capitalized
 "constants" are ALL_UPPER_CASE

You'll make Windows users lives easier if you use lower case 
for module names.

Any more forceful or extended statement would undoubtedly 
start a religeous war...
