Okay, I have to ask... why? Does it have an exception for names of classes? I don't like linters that enforce too much style. Catch things that might be mis-coded (like C's classic "if (x = 1)"), but don't complain about my names. They're MY business. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
