   Yes, but stdlib doesn't follow this style. See, for example, built-in
functions -- http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html :

staticmethod() isinstance() basestring() execfile() issubclass() bytearray()
frozenset() classmethod() getattr() hasattr() memoryview() delattr() setattr()

   I'm sure this style is codified somewhere, don't know where.

           Programmers don't die, they just GOSUB without RETURN.
