Dunder methods shouldn't fool anyone. Each dunder method has a 
straightforward use, and most of the time you can guess that they do. 
__add__ implements the + operator, etc.

Closures and decorators can be abused, as can anything. One can write 
obfuscated code in any language. Here's some amusing obfuscated Python:

Anyone else want to share some obfuscated Python code?
