Kent, You replied with the following some time ago regarding a question I asked about optimizing a loop:
>> You should try an optimized for loop: >> append_ = self.potdomains.append_ >> s1_ = suffix1 >> s2_ = suffix2 >> for word in self.dictcontents: >> append_(word + s1_) >> append_(word + s2_) >> >> This will take out some of the difference at least. I realized when reviewing this that I do not know what the "NAME_" notation is about. I know that "_METHOD/ATTR" makes a method or attribute private to an instance, but what does the trailing underscore do?
