Hi, Pythoners.
      I would like to know that in some class, it uses __XX__ but in some it
uses only XX
for example,

class Test:
    def __som__(self):
          ...
    def som(self):
          ...
   What does "__XX__" make the method different from XX?
   Thanks in advance

The form __method__ is reserved for internal methods also known as magic methods. In general you must not name your own methods or attributes __XX__ because the core of Python reserves all rights on the __*__ naming schema.

Some well know magic methods are __init__, __getattr__, __add__ etc. You can find a complete lists in the Python language reference.
