Is Django/Python going to get rid of the double underscore convention? If so, I'll switch from Ruby/Rails... :)

It's not a convention, it's part of the language.

I know, that the worst part! I like Python, in fact the indentation convention makes it really nice to read, but why did they uglify it with the double underscores?
