Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

Ian Kelly reminds me that instance.__xxx__ is only skipped by the internal 
machinery and not by direct accesses in user code. In the other hand, docs, 
official or otherwise, are filled with things like 'len(a) calls a.__len__', so 
I think something should be said that giving instances special method 
attributes does not have the effect one might expect.
