R. David Murray added the comment: A method that starts with an '_' is not part of the API unless documented to be so (as with namedtuple), and a non-special method that starts with two is purposefully mangled so that you cannot accidentally rely on it. The C implementation is an implementation of the API and the behavior when that API is used (as vetted by the tests that are run against both implementations); it is not otherwise required to "conform" to the python implementation or vice versa.
