Slightly off topic, but still quite relevant: I happen to like that
style for public methods (even though Python has no real public/
private methods).
class Foo():
def __init__(self)
def __secretMethod() # Secret handshake required!
def _privateMethodOrAccessor() # Self only.
def sharedMethod() # Self and/or descendants only.
def public_method() # Total whore.
