Description

Description of feature

Our python code is mostly CamelCase, but there are exceptions. To keep the python MDO Lab codebase and APIs consistent and predicable, we could and probably should integrate some tools into our testing to enforce this.

Potential solution

There are several tools available, but one option that fits into our current tools is to use the flake8 extension, pep8-naming.

Feel free to suggest other tools or approaches.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's existing testing and tooling setup, then evaluate the proposed pep8-naming flake8 extension. Confirm how naming checks should be integrated and which existing Python checks they should cover; done means the agreed convention is enforced by the test tooling.
