It's done more to distinguish classes from methods and attributes.  I  
can't claim
any credit though.  It's part of the python coding conventions in  
PEP-8.  You can
find the document at http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008 .

The actual coding convention for attribute and variable names is
lower_case_separated_by_underscores, but there are projects out there
that use initialLowerCamelCase.  Pick whatever your current project
is using and stick with it.
