Because most of them originally were types and factory functions, not classes - and a naming convention is not a strong reason to make backwards incompatible changes. A different example: the new builtin type `set` is based on (altough not exactly equal to) the Set class from the sets module -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
