this is indeed called "CamelCased". > thisFunc this is called "mixedCase". an all-lowered alternative is "lower_case_with_underscores," as in 'this_func'. PEP8 seems to lean towards the latter over the former, altho i use both and also do not stay strict to it. here's the link if you're curious: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ cheers, -- wesley - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Core Python Programming", Prentice Hall, (c)2007,2001 "Python Fundamentals", Prentice Hall, (c)2009 http://corepython.com wesley.j.chun :: wescpy-at-gmail.com python training and technical consulting cyberweb.consulting : silicon valley, ca http://cyberwebconsulting.com _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
