Regarding https://www.pythonsheets.com/notes/python-basic.html#python-naming-styles.

An example for variable names with compound words would be nice.
For example. Should a method local variable be called userName or user_name?

Based on PEP8 - Method Names and Instance Variables

Use the function naming rules: lowercase with words separated by underscores as necessary to improve readability.

It imply that using user_name not userName.

I think python like under_scope style rather than CamelCase.

CamelCase seems only used by ClassName and TypeVariable and no mixedCase.

Oh!! Do you mean add some examples like below?

# good

user_name = 'Guido'

# bad
userName = 'Guido'

Yes this was the idea. I did not know PEP8. And from https://www.pythonsheets.com/notes/python-basic.html#python-naming-styles. it was not clear on how to seperate names in variables. But now i know it is user_name 😃
