Can you tell me where did you get the information from?
Do you mean the _ variable?
It's in the tutorial:

I have always believed that the _ variable is only available
interactively because of this comment in the tutorial:-
"In interactive mode, the last printed expression is assigned to the
variable _. This means that when you are using Python as a desk
calculator, it is somewhat easier to continue calculations, for example:
..."
However a thread from IIRC a couple of days back used _ to say "I'm not
interested in you, I'm throwing you away" in a list comprehension or
whatever. I've tried this in a script this evening and it works perfectly.
print 'total', sum(amount for _, amount in outputs)
Where is the use of _ in a script documented, I've searched all over and
can't find it, guess I don't have the Midas touch with google? :)
Kindest regards.
