declaimed the following in gmane.comp.python.general:

> "network" could be abbreviated to "net", "inventory" to "inv" (maybe OK

	Of course, given both "net" and "con", it would be easy to read
"inv" as "inverse" -- if one interprets "net_db_con" to carry data
moving one direction, the inverse connection would be the return data
<G>

	This may be one of those situations wherein the first use of the
name carries an explanatory comment.
