While Eric indicates there is no policy, for the Python parts of your
code, I recommend you follow whatever the default is that pylint or
one of the other lint-like checkers recommend. Pylint likes a leading
underscore, but if you have a different natural preference, I
recommend you post your query at cod...@py.... It's where
all the cool static checker folk hang out. I haven't read PEP 8 in a
long while. Does Guido express a preference there?
