Slightly off topic, but still quite relevant: I happen to like that style for public methods (even though Python has no real public/ private methods). class Foo(): def __init__(self) def __secretMethod() # Secret handshake required! def _privateMethodOrAccessor() # Self only. def sharedMethod() # Self and/or descendants only. def public_method() # Total whore. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
