problems with self definition
<pre><code>File "clienttest.py", line 3, in &lt;module&gt;
   x = handle.Client()
File "/home/tmac/Handle/handle.py", line 131, in __init__
   Task.CLT_UPDATE:self.__clt_updates,
AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute '_Client__clt_updates'
</code></pre>

<p>my code throws this error when creating an instance but the function exists. It seems to be prepending _Client to it and i cant figure out why</p>

<p>heres the class definition</p>

<pre><code>class Client(threading.Thread):
