could someone please explain to me when and why to use the underscore? I still didn't get that. This is about the namespace, right? I read the part in the Zope Book, but somehow it just didn't get in to my brain cells ;-)
_ is just the name of a dictionary which contains the context (?) - in Python, you access dictionaries by giving the key and it returns the value, so, dictionary[key] = value I recommend 'the Quick Python Book' by Harms & MacDonald. The Zope book assumes you know Python already, and you should - it's not that hard to learn.
