Unlike the double-underscore attribute names for signalling "special meaning", that particular hack is IMO unnecessarily ugly. I don't, however, think it's likely to go away any time soon. If that's the ugliest convention people can find in Python (as opposed to the limitless *non*-conventional ugliness that programmers are capable of in any language), then Python is doing pretty well. -- \ “An idea isn't responsible for the people who believe in it.” | `\ —Donald Robert Perry Marquis | _o__) | Ben Finney -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
