None of which PEP 8 recommends (in fact, it strongly recommends against massive renames). What PEP 8 is saying is that /new/ code, especially new code intended for the stdlib, should follow the PEP's guidelines. Which is why I think we need one strong recommendation. Over time, as modules are naturally updated or supplanted, we'll get more consistency in the stdlib across packages. -Barry
