The only thing I strongly disagree with is the promotion of javaNaming
to equal footing with python_naming.  We can look forward to future
programs that look like this:

class Something:

  def __init__(self, i_care):
     self.mem_a = pkga.uses_python_naming()
     self.mem_b = pkgb.usesJavaNaming()
     if i_care:
        self.this_looks(self.mem_b.reallyCrap())

It gets worse if you subclass from modules using different conventions
in your own code.  Ugly code.
