Thanks. I have to ask: why don't "asdict" and "astuple" respect
PEP 8
naming?
I guess it depends if you think the underscore is needed to improve
readability. "Function names should be lowercase, with words
separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability."
I don't feel strongly enough about it to change it, but part of that
is because I'm burned out on the PEP, so I might not be a good one
to judge at this point. I guess if I clear my head and I were doing
it from scratch again I'd make them as_dict and as_tuple, so maybe I
should brush aside inertia and make the change.
The Python stdlib is incredibly inconsistent where it comes to inserting
underscores. I think in this case it matches `namedtuple._asdict()` and
that's good enough for me.
It also matches `attrs.asdict()`, which is what originally inspired it.
Eric.
