有一篇关于这方面的论文:http://www.cs.kent.edu/~jmaletic/papers/ICPC2010-CamelCaseUnderScoreClouds.pdf

它说snake_case比camelCase可读性更好。这就是为什么现代语言在任何可能的地方都使用(或应该使用)蛇。

无论是否在课堂上或在课堂外:

变量和函数小写，如下所示:

name = "John"

def display(name):
    print("John")

如果它们多于一个单词，则用下划线“_”分隔，如下所示:

first_name = "John"

def display_first_name(first_name):
    print(first_name)

并且，如果一个变量是一个常量，它是大写的，如下所示:

FIRST_NAME = "John"

大多数使用python的人更喜欢下划线，但即使我已经使用python 5年多了，我仍然不喜欢它们。我只是觉得它们很丑，但也许这就是我脑子里的爪哇。

I simply like CamelCase better since it fits better with the way classes are named, It feels more logical to have SomeClass.doSomething() than SomeClass.do_something(). If you look around in the global module index in python, you will find both, which is due to the fact that it's a collection of libraries from various sources that grew overtime and not something that was developed by one company like Sun with strict coding rules. I would say the bottom line is: Use whatever you like better, it's just a question of personal taste.

编码风格通常是组织内部策略/约定标准的一部分，但我认为一般来说，all_lower_case_underscore_separator风格(也称为snake_case)在python中最常见。

谷歌Python风格指南有以下约定:

module_name, package_name, ClassName, method_name, ExceptionName, function_name, GLOBAL_CONSTANT_NAME, global_var_name, instance_var_name, function_parameter_name, local_var_name。

CLASS_CONSTANT_NAME应该应用类似的命名方案

@JohnTESlade的回答更进一步。谷歌的python风格指南有一些非常简洁的建议，

避免使用的名字

除计数器或迭代器外的单字符名称 在任何包/模块名称中使用破折号(-) \ __double_leading_and_trailing_下划线名称(由Python保留)

命名约定

"Internal" means internal to a module or protected or private within a class. Prepending a single underscore (_) has some support for protecting module variables and functions (not included with import * from). Prepending a double underscore (__) to an instance variable or method effectively serves to make the variable or method private to its class (using name mangling). Place related classes and top-level functions together in a module. Unlike Java, there is no need to limit yourself to one class per module. Use CapWords for class names, but lower_with_under.py for module names. Although there are many existing modules named CapWords.py, this is now discouraged because it's confusing when the module happens to be named after a class. ("wait -- did I write import StringIO or from StringIO import StringIO?")
