Summary: PEP-008: Update Naming Conventions

Initial Comment:
Clarify and standardize the format for names of modules, functions, 
methods, and instance variables.

Consistent, I hope, with discussion on python-dev

Under modules, should there be a parenthetical comment 
saying either

(1)  If a module name does include capitals, then it must be 
named with capitals during import?

(2)  Many existing module names follow an older CapWords 
convention, particularly if they export a single class or wrap a 
C module.

Thanks!

Looks good, except that the alternate style for functions
and methods is "mixedCase", not "CamelCase". (We may have
our definition of CamelCase mixed up, but the point is that
the initial letter is lower case.)

Go ahead and check it in (if people disagree they can check
in an improvement).
