The previous recipes in this book have not used a structured code naming convention. This recipe will show you the value of adhering to a code naming scheme because it helps us to find the code we want to extend, as well as reminds us of the design of our program.
In this recipe, we will look at the Python module names from the first chapter of this book and compare them to better naming conventions.
In the first chapter of this book, we created our first Python GUI. We improved our GUI by incrementing the different code module names via sequential numbers.
It looked like this:
While this is a typical way to code, it does not provide much meaning. When we write our Python code during development, it is very easy to increment numbers.
Later, coming back to this code, we don't have much of an idea which Python module provides which functionality, and sometimes, our last incremented modules are not as good as earlier versions.
