this is indeed called "CamelCased".

>   thisFunc

this is called "mixedCase". an all-lowered alternative is
"lower_case_with_underscores," as in 'this_func'. PEP8 seems to lean
towards the latter over the former, altho i use both and also do not
stay strict to it. here's the link if you're curious:
