[Python-Dev] Object customization (was: Arbitrary attributes on funcs and methods)

[Skip Montanaro]

Barry said "_" is effectively taken because it means something (at least when 
used a function?) to pygettext.  How about "__" then? 

    def bar():
       print __.x
    def foo():
       print __.x
    foo.x = "public"
    bar.x = "private"
    ...

It has the added benefit that this usage adheres to the "Python gets to
stomp on __-prefixed variables" convention.
