[issue5530] datetime class names should obey PEP 8 CapWords convention

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

Please don't do this. We need stable APIs. Trying to switch the entire
community to use CapWord APIs for something as commonly used as datetime
sounds like wasting a lot of cycles with no reason except the mythical
"PEP 8 conformance". As I said, it's a pity we didn't change this at the
3.0 point, but I think going forward we should try to be more committed
to slow change. Additions of new functionality are of course fine. But
renamings (even if the old names remain available) are just noise.
