Pythonic Naming PyCon Australia, 2015
Hello, I’m Amber Brown (HawkOwl)
Twitter: @hawkieowl
None
The biggest two problems in programming
Cache invalidation
Naming
Off by one errors
We need a PEP for Python names
The regulation should be that the name should be:
A common word (werkzeug is German, it counts)
Easy to spell (parameeko? paramako?)
Easy to pronounce (lol django???)
A horrible pun.
This is why Twisted is the best Python package on
PyPI.
None
the curses replacement: insults
RPC framework: spread (made up of banana and jelly)
The channel-esque package: Twisted Tubes
live telnet/ssh debugger: manhole
the Flask clone: Klein (a twisted flask is a klein
bottle)
the Django runner: Hendrix (a twisted Django Rinehart is Jimi
Hendrix)
dual-direction WebSockets: autobahn
But some people are getting good on PyPI
(not considering that the Cheeseshop itself is a Monty Python
sketch)
py2 x py3 compat: six
internationalisation: babel
process pooling: billiard
Python interpreter written in Python: pypy
SOAP client: suds
ASPIRE TO THIS
I expect better from you all!
If you write a client for elasticsearch, don’t call it
pyES
don’t call it ‘elasticsearch’
Call it ’stretchyadder’ (or something idk)
Make it amusing!
Make it a play on words! (extra points for obscurity)
Make it really easy to Google
Because nobody else but a Pythonista would call their pride
and joy such a dumb name
Keep Python Weird
