Dear quasar, Typically an identifier starting with an underscore signifies something that is not intended to be exposed as part of a public API. In other words, it's an implementation detail in whatever you're using and as such you probably shouldn't use it or rely on it, unless you know the internal details very well. An identifier starting with _two_ underscores is automatically mangled in a way that makes it more difficult (but not impossible) for external clients to accidentally use them. -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM erikmaxfrancis I wonder if heaven got a ghetto -- Tupac Shakur -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
