The __memcache to _memcache change was necessary for the TS2000Radio class to be able to access the KenwoodLiveRadio superclass's member variable for the subclass's get_memory(), set_memory(), and erase_memory() methods and cannot be reverted without impacting functioning of the driver. The double underscore is analogous to java/C++ private and the single underscore is analogous to protected, and it's part of the python black magic that appears stylistic but isn't. I really hate that particular bit of the language because it does nothing but cause problems, but there's no such thing as a language without warts.
Okay, that makes sense. I didn't realize you were accessing this from the subclass.
P.S. It's not black magic, just name mangling. You should be able to find it at TS2000Radio._KenwoodLiveRadio__memcache, but please don't try this :-)
