p.s., I'm definitely +1 on making a stronger statement in the style guide. Consistency is good.
OK. Then here is my pronouncement (somebody else can edit the PEP): for the standard library (C and Python code), we'll use lowercase_with_underscores for all new modules, allowing camelCase only in contexts where that's already the prevailing style (e.g. threading.py), to retain backwards compatibility.
Third parties are encouraged to adhere to the same style but it doesn't make sense to tell large code bases to change.
