Looking at the set of methods and fields in a class and finding two that differ only by capitalization is confusing to users of the
class.
This situation may simply indicate poor naming. Method names should be action-oriented, and thus contain a verb, which is unlikely in the case
where both a method and a field have the same name (with or without capitalization differences). However, renaming a public method could be disruptive
to callers. Therefore renaming the member is the recommended action.
Code examples
Noncompliant code example
class SomeClass:
lookUp = false
def lookup(): # Non-compliant; method name differs from field name only by capitalization
pass
Compliant solution
class SomeClass:
lookUp = false
def getLookUp():
pass
