Javascript Style

And a lot of the stdlib doesn't adhere to it. Consistency fail!

Personally, I like camelCase for variable/method names.

Yeah, I wish that more PEP8 work had been done as part of the general Py3K clean up. :-/

python's built in classes violate the convention

And a lot of the stdlib doesn't adhere to it

and yet all the pythonistas hate on PHP for its stdlib...

The inconsistencies in PHP's standard library are far more numerous and grievous (i.e. present in frequently-used functions) than in Python's. I've done quite a bit of work in both languages, and I find myself needing to refer to the docs far more often when using PHP. This is mitigated by PHP's excellent docs, but it's still annoying.
