It's worth stressing that word *guideline*: if you're contributing to
the Python core, PEP 8 is de rigueur; another library or project might
have different standards, more or less derived from PEP 8. If you're
writing your own code, you can do whatever you like. The advantage of
following PEP 8 is that there's one less barrier for someone (including
you, later) following your code. But if you fancy lowercase classes,
use lowercase classses. :)
