DISCUSSION: Naming conventions (for C code)

It sounds a Good & Sensible Thing. I would only make a suggestion:

Instead of:
> Global variables are named using similar conventions, e.g.
>
> PyType_List
> Py_ZeroDivisionError

I would say:

PyType_list
Py_zeroDivisionError

That is, to make a distinction between function names and variables by
starting these with a lower case letter.

It's not that important, but helps a little when you are using a
debugger and want a quick visual check of a particular global name.
