Naming conventions for regular variables

"Function Names

Function names should be lowercase, with words separated by underscores
as necessary to improve readability."

However, this PEP does not recommend any particular style for naming
regular (local) variables.

Personally I like "mixedCase", however using both styles looks a bit weird:

def some_function_name(someVariableName, anotherVar)

Naming both functions and variables using "lowercase with underscore
separator between words for readability" leads to confusing function
names with variable names - and distinguishing between variables and
function names just by looking at them would be nice.

Recommendations?
