Didn't know that this was called "Hungarian notation",
and although it's not my personal favorite, it is thé standard in Delphi,
but I admit that it's not a very good choice in a object oriented 
language like Python.

The program I'm writing now is might be an exception,
I'm writing a program that should be extended by non-Python-programmers,
even maybe non-programmers !
So I'm trying to use a simplest approach from the viewpoint of the end 
users.
