Django: Meaning of leading underscore in list of tuples used to define choice fields?
- by User
I've seen a few examples defining choice fields like so:
COUNTRIES = (
('fr', _('France')),
('de', _('Germany')),
...
)
(source: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/5446
Also see: http://djangosnippets.org/snippets/494/)
What is the meaning of the leading underscores? And why is the second value in the tuple even parenthesized?
