I should have some time today to play as well.  One thing I would like
to do is to continue the clean up on naming conventions to make them
compliant with the coding guide.  Thanks for your efforts so far on
this -- one thing left to do here that I can see is to rename the
modules to test_axes.py rather than TestAxes.py, etc..., and to finish
renaming the methods which use the wrong convention, eg
TestAxes.TestAxes.tearDown should be test_axes.TestAxes.tear_down
(module_lower_under.ClassMixedUpper.method_lower_under).

When I get some time to work later I'll ping you to make sure we
aren't working on the same thing at the same time.
