I'm guessing line-splitting __doc__ into a list, but what's that
leading underscore do?
Thanks!
I think it is standard practice to use the underscore for unicode converts.
Actually, it's for i18n, not for

My guess would be someone has used the common convention of naming the
"get the corresponding localised version of this string from the
application's gettext database" function as '_' for convenience.
Funny that this comes up.
I just noticed this in some code I was looking at the other day.
Ohh, it's a function _() call. Now it makes sense.
Of course Python would be consistent... I was expecting trickery!
It's actually from the Mailman source, def _(s) is a string function
for i18n

Look at the rest of the module to see where that name comes from;

It's calling a function with a single argument, like sqrt(x), except the
function is named _ and the argument is named __doc__. The unders
