Comment:

I suppose Paul's suggestion is as good a solution as any. That snippet he links to at least gives a general introduction to "this is the way it is", which is better than nothing. The reality, though, is that the double underscore is a relatively arbitrary delimiter, and is used by convention (not just in Django). I am not aware of any good links on why it's used as such.

I'll accept a patch as per Paul's comment, though.

    16 The use of double-underscore as a syntactic element is not familiar to me.  I accept without objection that it *is* used in this context, but it is unfamiliar.  Since the audience for this tutorial *probably* includes at least *some* people as ignorant as I am, maybe a separate page for some examples of how the double-underscore syntax relates to particular object references would be helpful.  (E.g., "See examples _here_", linking to a page with examples, "this__that__the-other" ==> "this.that.the-other" etc.)

    1818Since I explicitly lack experience here, my recommendation could be completely wrong; I leave that to you.
