#  This threading model was originally inspired by Java, and inherited
# the convention of camelCase function and method names from that
# language. While those names are not in any imminent danger of being
# deprecated, starting with Python 2.6, the module now provides a
# PEP 8 compliant alias for any such method name.
# Using the new PEP 8 compliant names also facilitates substitution
# with the multiprocessing module, which doesn't provide the old
# Java inspired names.
