If they always directly coorespond to Python types, then I would be incli=
ned=20
to match names with Python.

If they do not, then I prefer the longer names. And I would only use the =
name=20
Dictionary if it is semantically equivilant to a Python dict. Otherwise=20
another name might be better.

I find this whole Zope package thing quite confusing 8^) (but I know it m=
akes=20
Jim happy). Just stick it in site-packages... ;^)
