Not quite: it deviates from PEP 8 on function names, which should rather
be ‘lower_case_words_separated_by_underscores’.

The ‘UPPER_CASE_WORDS_WITH_UNDERSCORES’ form is for “constants”, i.e.
names that indicate they should stay bound to the same value through the
life of the program (which is the closest normal Python programs get to
a “constant” binding).

The ‘TitleCase’ form should be used only for class names.

The ‘camelCase’ form is not conformant with PEP 8 at all (which makes me
glad, since it's hideous).
