There is no change in functionality. It has some slight effects on
import, but as a beginner you shouldn't need to worry about that.

Both. It's a strongly-adhered-to naming convention, as an indicator to
the reader how that name should be used.

    foo      Ordinary name, part of public interface
    _foo     Ordinary name, part of internal-only interface
    __foo    Ordinary name, but will be mangled (this style used rarely)
    __foo__  Name which is used in a special way by Python

There's no change in the objects themselves; the underscores rather
indicate how those names are expected to be accessed.
