Thank you. I looked it up and http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ says the following:
Class Names

      Almost without exception, class names use the CapWords convention.
      Classes for internal use have a leading underscore in addition.

Package and Module Names

      Modules should have short, all-lowercase names.  Underscores can be used
      in the module name if it improves readability.  Python packages should
      also have short, all-lowercase names, although the use of underscores is
      discouraged.



Cheers!!
Albert-Jan
