Bad form to access a *private variable* like _foo?
In this case, this would be spelled "protected" - or even better "implementation". And the contract is: nothing prevent you to access implementation attributes, but then you're on your own if anything breaks.
The reason I'm asking is that TurboGears/SQLObject mobel objects have an attribute called "_connection" that must be used to manually commit database stuff.... e.g. MyObject._connection.commit() It bugs me. I don't know if it is a stylistic faux pas or not.

Is it?
The way you wrote it here, yes. If there's no official way to do the same operation and you have a real use case for it - in which case you may want to add a commit() method to SQLObject's model base class and submit the patch to SQLObject's maintainer. But I strongly suspect there's a better way to handle this case in SQLObject's API.
