That seems like a improper error message from the tool. "Invalid name"
does *not* properly describe that situation. The name is *not*
"Invalid" in any sense of the word, and a "checker" that tells you it is
is creating needless false-positives. An error checker should be saying
something like:
"self.lightDone: Does not match PEP8 recommended style"
making it clear that this is *not* an error, it is a *style* related
*warning*.
HTH,
Mike
