#74169 — Naming conventions for functions and methods

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Looking for your opinions on how you name your functions and
methods. Example: I have a function that hashes a file. I could
name this function hash_file() or file_hash(). The 1st naming
convention sounds more natural, the 2nd naming convention
allows one to group related functions together by the object
being acted on. PEP-8 doesn't appear to offer guidance in this
area. Thoughts? Malcolm
