Double underscores -- ugly?

I also find it unattractive and unpleasant to type.

In Py3.0, I would support a single underscore convention, _init_ or
somesuch.

I'm not sure what the aesthetic reasons are, but somehow the change
from double underscores to single underscores makes the result a lot
less offensive to my eyes.
