Answer 1

This is taken from the Python docs:

Identifiers (also referred to as names) are described by the following lexical definitions:

identifier ::=  (letter|"_") (letter | digit | "_")*

letter     ::=  lowercase | uppercase

lowercase  ::=  "a"..."z"

uppercase  ::=  "A"..."Z"

digit      ::=  "0"..."9"

Identifiers are unlimited in length. Case is significant.

That should explain how to name your variables.
