I agree.  Hopefully with a sensible reorganization, multi-word module  
names can be reduced as much as possible (e.g. email.MIMEText ->  
email.mime.text), but if not, then I don't have a problem with  
underscored module names in general.

socket_server is fine, but I also think tkinter is fine since the  
later doesn't even contain real words <wink>.
