A "Best of the Best Practices" (BOBP) guide to developing in Python.

The wordlist contains 1626 words.
All words are between 4 and 7 letters long.
No word in the list is a prefix of another word (e.g. visit, visitor).
Five letter prefixes of words are sufficient to be unique.
The words should be usable by people all over the world. The list is far from perfect in that respect. It is heavily biased towards western culture and English in particular. The international vocabulary is simply not big enough. One can argue that even words like "hotel" or "radio" are not truly international.
