Well, we also have the policy so far that variable name = name field.
I find it consistent, and do not mind typing a few "python-" more or less.
It is not what makes packaging quite a bit of work...
But if others agree, this can still be changed quite easily.
You may wish to suggest a patch to the "packaging guidelines" in the documen-
tation; the ease or lack of ease to formulate a coherent guideline could be
an indication on what we should do...
