That's fine. As always, projects (especially big framework-y ones like Zope and Chandler) are free to adopt whatever they want. Their internal consistency is more important anyway than adherence to PEP 8. PEP 8 though is primarily about establishing guidelines for the standard library. The underline_words recommendation has been in place for 4+ years now, and modules that have been written in that time frame have been written against to those rules. I see no reason to change now just to be more Java-like. -Barry
