Guido:

Call me old-fashioned, but I like struct fields with unique prefixes, in Python as well as in C. It's a hint about what kind of data structure we're looking at.

The name of whatever is referring to the struct should be doing that.

Anyway, if it's such a good thing, why don't you use it in all the Python code you write?
