In the COM and CORBA worlds, it can be a showstopper - if an external object happens to expose a method or property named after a Python keyword, then you simply can not use it!

How about this (simple, but relatively unannoying) convention:

To COM name: - remove last "_", if any

From COM name: - add "" is it's a keyword - add "" if last character is "_"
