Not quite true. Depending on the context, the obvious meanings of "_" in Python are either 1) "ignore me", e.g. in _, b = some_tuple or 2) "this is a non-public thing", as in class Xyz: _private = 1 or 3) "I am the translation function", as commonly used in (HTML) templates: _("translation key here") None of the three meanings applies to the OP's example, AFAICT.
