I'm not really clear on the whole "_" prefix thing. I was under the impression that a single underscore prefix meant that the att isn't supposed to be accessed from outside the class. Is that incorrect?

I've been interpreting it for Dabo as "users shouldn't access it".

     But what is the standard among Python programmers?

My understanding, is that a single underscore is equivalent to the protected keyword of C++, class methods and sub class methods are allowed access. Two underscores is equivalent to the private
keyword, which means only class methods are allowed access.
