I would of course expect the class level name "__a" to be unreachable 
from within __init__. What puzzle me is that local name "__a" (*not* 
self.__a)   in the __init__ resolves to the module level name "_uno__a".

I beg to disagree. The problem (well... what I think is a problem, 
actually) IS that name mangling is applied to a method *local* variable.
