Description
Bug description
Python convention is that any variable name consisting entirely of underscores is to be considered a placeholder, used when a value needs to be assigned somewhere but you don't actually care about it after that. Thus no warnings should be emitted about such a variable being unused, overwritten, or changing type.
However, another common convention is to import the gettext() translation function as _ for convenience. Thus current best-practice is to use names of two or more underscores for placeholders.
