My convention, attributes with names prefixed with a single underscore are private. There's nothing to stop anyone using these, but, well, if you take the back off the radio, the warranty is void. > If private and protected is supported, python will be perfect. If *real* private and protected are *enforced*, Python will be the poorer for it.
