Hungarian notation can be very helpful if used meaningfully.  Your 
examples are good:

word_count  (not int_count)

github_result (not str_result)

However, it is still a style question, and as such it will not be 
added/enforced by Python.

If you just want to discuss the merits of Hungarian Notation then 
Python-List is a better place to go.
