Python Naming Conventions

General

• Avoid using names that are too general or too long. Strike a good balance between the two.
• Bad: data_structure, my_list, info_map, storing_vote_count_for_user_approach_link
• Good: user_profile, vote_count, upsert_link

Modules/Packages/Functions

• Modules/Packages names should be all lower case like reinforce
• When multiple words are needed, an underscore should separate them like register_hook,  is_shared
• It is usually preferable to stick to short names

Classes

• Class names should follow the UpperCaseCamelCase convention like ContextMixin, TensorBase
• Python’s built-in classes, however, are typically lowercase words
• Exception classes should end in “Error like TypeError, ExampleError.

Constants

• Constant names must be fully capitalized likes CACHES, SITES
• Words in a constant name should be separated by an underscore like MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES, LANGUAGE_CODE​
