It turns out Python uses leading double underscores to create
attributes that are class local. Hope this helps.

I'm guessing that this is a coding convention from a preceding
language(s) (C/C++, perhaps?), and that perhaps it is used to
distiguish variable scope (globals, perhaps?)
Can someone school me on the rules?
In my experience the underscore thing is a Windows C++ convention, and
is used to distinguish class member variables. It can be useful as a
convention if your IDE can't automatically tell the scope of a
variable. Never seen a double underscore though.
