When I try to do a long underscore __ for classes in Pycharm, it only gives me two separate single underscores _ _.
The "__" is 2 underscores; it's just that they usually appear joined together in many fonts.
To really see this, start IDLE either from an icon or 'python -m idlelib' (use 'python3' on *nix) on a command line. Open the settings dialog with Options => Configure IDLE. On the Font tab there is a Font Sample box. Go to the bottom and enter several _____s. In the Windows Courier font, and several others, this looks like one line. On the left, try other fonts. On Windows, switching to Source Code Pro (and some others) results in separate underscores. Source Code Pro, as the name suggests, is aimed at programmers, and we need to be able to count underscores.
Or maybe you can switch fonts in your mail reader and see what happens to the underscores above.
