A sidenote on this - lower case common words do not make good module names
because they are too easily overshadowed (mistakenly) by local variables.

E.g.:

from web import cookie

[ blah blah ]

   cookie = request.get_cookie()

   [oops, the cookie module just got inaccessible, must use kookie
    or something ungly like this]

I think the best solution is to use upper case for module names like
"Cookie", "HTTP", "Client", etc.
