What Does “__” Mean in Python?

Problem scenario
You see two underscores or two underbars before a function in Python. What does this syntax signify?

Possible Solution #1
The answer is best explained by running this program once with no modification and a second time with a modification.

class ContintClass():
def __init__(self):
self.__completelyprivate = “1111111111”
self._semiprivate = “2222222”

foo = ContintClass()
#print(foo.__completelyprivate)

print(“Above is an attempt to print a completely private data member of an object”)

print(“Below is an attempt to print a semi-private data member of an object”)
print(foo._semiprivate)

Before you run the program the second time,

Why is Your Python Programming Printing Duplicate Lines?

Problem scenario
You have a Python program with print statements. When you run the program, you get twice as many print statements as you expect. What could be wrong?

When Manipulating Lists in Python, Why is pop Slower than del?

Problem scenario
You use del and pop to remove items from lists. You noticed that pop is slower than del. Why is this the case?

Solution
There are two reasons. One, pop returns the value that is removed. Two, pop acts as a function call as opposed to a primitive action. Whereas the del invokes a primitive action (a non-recursive function call),

How Do You Find Where the Python Interpreter Will Look for Modules?
