Alexander,
Thank you so much! It worked! Thank you. One question: in
your reply, are you saying that Python would have treated the two separate
underscores the same way as a long underscore i.e. it's a stylistic choice
rather than a functional necessity?
In any case, thanks again for your quick and easy to follow - even for me -
reply.

Hi Tony
The “long underscore” (often called Dunder as “double underscore”) is actually
two underscores as you are seeing shown in PyCharm.
However the display of it as one long underscore is a ligature (special font
display to communicate clearer) and to enable these in PyCharm go to the
settings dialog (depending on windows or Mac this could be in different
locations) and select Editor > Font
In that screen select “enable font ligatures” and if your font supports it
(like the default JetBrains Mono does) that will start to display the double
underscores as a single long underscore.

Alexander
