Module names like hashlib are not python-like too (too c/lowlevel-like). I agree with Greg: hashlib is a Pythonic name for a module, just like httplib, mhlib, xmlrpclib, cookielib, contextlib, difflib, ... OTOH, it might be indeed that the ctypes name need to be aligned with naming conventions.

Personally, I like the ctypes name. But I'm open for suggestions, and it might have intersting consequences if the Python core package would be renamed to something else.

Any suggestions?
