If I were in the position to decide I would rather change the PEP than the logging module. I prefer Zope 3 style camel case names for public attributes and methods (http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/ZopePythonNamingConventions point 3) over underscore names. I like to see the camel case style for public names as an alternative in PEP 8. I find it easier to read and less to type. But again it is just my personal and subjective opinion. Provided that a package uses a *single* style I can live with both styles but I'm using the camel case style for my projects. Chrstian
