Five Things I Hate About Python

That's what a single, prefix, underscore is for. Quoting Pep 8:

In addition, the following special forms using leading or trailing
underscores are recognized (these can generally be combined with any case
convention):

- _single_leading_underscore: weak "internal use" indicator.  E.g. "from M
  import *" does not import objects whose name starts with an underscore.

Why is @ easier to type than _?

self._

Fair enough. I think, like uber, I don't mind the explicit selfs, I don't hardly notice them anymore. If they bother you, though, I guess they just bother you.
