Be careful here. The above won't result in any conflicts, but related cases, where you have two classes with the same name in different modules, may still result in conflicts. See my previous posts on this: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/503984abaee1c2b5 http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/f03183a2c01c8ecf However, I tend not to use double-underscore name mangling, and I don't think I've ever had a shadowing problem, so clearly I wouldn't have shadowing problems with double-underscore name mangling either...
