Hi i was playing around with my code the i realize of this################### _uno__a = 1 class uno(): __a = 2 def __init__(self): print __a uno() ################### and prints 1 So when i create class uno in the __init__ calls the global _uno__a when i refer just __a ? it's some kind of "private global" variable?

Wow, that's interesting. Looks like you have simultaneously kicked in name mangling[1], while not using the 'self' notation to specify an instance variable and not a global variable.
For an instance variable you should use self.__a, not just __a. And you don't want to use two leading underscores until you know what you're doing. :-)
