    Ah, naming-conventions... as they say, the two hard problems in computer science are cache invalidation, naming things and off-by-one errors ;) Commented Dec 5, 2010 at 12:52
  • Why not use the standard short forms like: del for delete, cnfg for configuration and so on? Commented Dec 5, 2010 at 12:55
  • @sukhbir well that's the problem. As a newbie that didn't work for any other project before, it just get difficult what to choose. For example with PEP-8 I knew that I should use variables like name_variable but I don't know what to choose for short variables or abbreviations. I mean is there any documentation or any standard for that ? I couldn't find anything related to this. Commented Dec 5, 2010 at 13:00
