Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: There was a discussion on python-dev about naming conventions in the standard library. There was no clear consensus that everything non-public should start with an underscore. Several developers thought that merely being undocumented or not present in __all__ was sufficient (evidently including Guido at the point he implemented this).
