Yup. That's why I would write "a __path__ attribute", but "an __init__ method".

If I have to be explicit when speaking, I'll typically say either
"dunder <whatever>" or "double underscore <whatever>". I find that's
only needed if there is a name class between the double underscore
name and a non-prefixed variable though, which doesn't happen very
often.

Cheers,
Nick.
