I second this. Please keep python readable by trying to use plain
english words for identifiers and stay away from hungarian notation. If
more than one words are required, use a consistent convention (e.g.
CamelCase for classes, mixedCase for methods, etc.). See also
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0008.html for some (semi-)standard
conventions.
