Bad form to access a *private variable* like _foo?



Bad form to access a *private variable* like _foo?

The reason I'm asking is that TurboGears/SQLObject mobel objects have
an attribute called "_connection" that must be used to manually commit
database stuff....

e.g. MyObject._connection.commit()

It bugs me. I don't know if it is a stylistic faux pas or not.

Is it?
