Note that this style is more correctly called TitleCase, since the first letter of *every* word is capitalised, like in a headline (or title). "camel case" is different -- see below. > ohh - interesting. Thanks for the camelCase tip - dont have a good > reason to do otherwise, just bad habits. The style called camelCase (all words run together, capitalise first letter of every word except the first) is prevalent in Java, where it denotes the name of an *instance*, in contrast to a *class* which is named with TitleCase. The camelCase style is less popular in the Python world, where (as per PEP 8) instances are named with all lower case, either joinedwords or separate_by_underscores. -- \ "Crime is contagious ... if the government becomes a | `\ lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law." -- Justice Louis | _o__) Brandeis | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
