You can take the convention strictly, like a traffic law, and make such a rule, or you can try to sort out the intent of the convention or law and live by that.
This is coming from the guy who objected to the method used to validate all the fields in a DataSource being named in the plural? ;-)
Whenever I see a _ prefacing an identifier in Python source code, I think "ah, this is something internal to the workings that I'll not concern myself with".
Tell you what: add this to the post 1.0 list of things to do. When we have reached that goal, we can treat Dabo as a complete self- contained entity, and create our own conventions, and then go through every method of every class to determine if a developer should ever call it directly, and if not, change the name to whatever convention we decide. I would suggest using something other than an initial underscore, as that already means something to Python folk.
