This relates to a question I was thinking about...

I'm looking at porting a library that was written for COM and .Net to 
work as a Python module, and was wondering whether it would be better to 
stick to the library's current naming convention so that the API is as 
similar as possible on each platform, or to adopt a "when in Rome..." 
policy and follow the "most mainstream" naming pattern for each 
platform/language.
