[Python-Dev] python 2.5alpha and naming schemes

I read the python 2.5alpha release notes and found that some module and
class names should not make it into the official release. For example,
the name of the ctypes module is ok because the module is only of
special interest, but calls like py_object or create_string_buffer
should definetly be changed to something more python-like. Module names
like hashlib are not python-like too (too c/lowlevel-like).

Please think about it...
