def __init__ question in a class definition rephrased

[Jeffrey Borkent]

Hi There,

Please let me rephrase the problem as many people misunderstood
what i was trying to ask.

I know that the __init__ is the class constructor, that was not my
question.

under the def __init__ are several assignments

self.__list = list
self.refresh = 360

i wish to add some more assignments of this type to this function.

what is the significance ( if any ) of the __ in these self.xxxxxx
assignments.


If i look at chapter 9.5 in the tutorial (v2.3.4) then it talks
about private variables.... is this the same thing


Cheers
