The naming scheme isn't CamelCase but (for class names) uppercase
letters separated with underscores.
The top-level modules use (usually) three letter acronyms because
they're used very often.

If you mean the leading underscores in the module names: We're using
some metaclass magic and it's a compromise to navigate namespaces
without underscores and have a single underscore in the import
statement. This generally avoids double names like e.g. 
datetime.datetime

What do you mean with weird model descriptions?

What particular part do you find hard to read?
