Hi.  First, thank you for your collective efforts in maintaining Python's
documentation.  The documentation has been very helpful to me in
understanding better how the language works.

Please have a look at the paragraph beginning with *Private name
mangling*in section 5.2.1.  The paragraph details an example of how
private names
are transformed.  Based on the way the text explains the workings of the
transformation, I think the example should produce the string _Hamspam, not
_Ham__spam.  I say this because of the comment in line two (2) of the
paragraph that leading underscores (of the name) are removed during the
transformation.

For your consideration.


Best,
Bruce
