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
