Dissension will be crushed . Module and package names seem muddier, although I think a lot of projects (including the Python core) have been moving toward short one-word all-lower names for those (especially for packages at top level). Another pronouncement then: modules/packages need to be short all-lower names (no underscores). StringIO, cPickle and SimpleXMLRPCServer etc. were mistakes.

Patch 919256 submitted for review.
