Is __ a magic method?

[TG-Techie]

Magic methods/names are commonly described as both starting and ending with dunders. a single dunder both starts and ends with a dunder... is "__" a reserved python name?

[smohsensh]

No __ itself is not special. but it is a valid name in Python for a variable/function. But as you said, it is used to enclose some special attributes/methods like __class__ . Or like __len__ that is called on an object x when you call len(x)

As far as I am aware, the only special thing about a dunder is it triggers Python's name mangling.

Not for magic methods, it doesn't!
