It's not actually private! namedtuple is documented as an exception to the rule that methods starting with a single leading underscore are private. Named tuples define three public methods and one data attribute. In order to avoid clashing with field names, they start with a single underscore, but they are documented as public: _make _asdict _replace _fields http://docs.python.org/2/library/collections.html#namedtuple-factory-function-for-tuples-with-named-fields -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
