If we must quibble over meta-nomenclature...
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/ :
"""
The following naming styles are commonly distinguished:
[...]
* CapitalizedWords (or CapWords, or CamelCase -- so named because of
the bumpy look of its letters [3]). [=E2=80=A6]
* mixedCase (differs from CapitalizedWords by initial lowercase character!)
"""

The term "TitleCase" does not make an appearance in the document.
