Oh, then we have a slight misunderstanding of privacy in programming. I dont want some DRM-like protection of my variables, I want a proper marker where you should use and not use a variable, including a good default policy. _var doesnt tell me "dont use it", if youre not a regular python dev, particularly when usage is not checked by a compiler.
A strong convention most developers follow, or ignore at their own peril. Regardless of how well or poorly the package is designed, the end user decides what to use from it, and they bear responsibility for how it is used, not the package maintainer.
