As someone learning python after several years of working on Java, i am
interested to know why does python follow the
lower_case_with_underscores way of naming methods and variables while
Java follows the MixedCaseWithoutUnderscores.

After writing a couple of py progs, i find myself using the python way
in Java, and i prefer it (used to write C progs this way 10 yrs ago), and
i need some justification for this, since i am the guy who made the Java
guidelines for my org 4 years back !
