New submission from Barry A. Warsaw: PEP 8 says:
""" Class Names Almost without exception, class names use the CapWords convention. Classes for internal use have a leading underscore in addition. """ yet there are some notable exceptions in practice, such as classes designed to be context managers (used with the `with` statement). This message indicates Nick's implementation choice of a wrapper function in part to avoid naming a class with all lower cases (which look better with `with`, but break the PEP 8 convention). https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-October/129791.html The PEP 8 language should be revised, but striking the right balance might be a little tricky. ---------- messages: 200783 nosy: barry priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Revise PEP 8 recommendation for class names _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue19331> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
