A patch to make __private names _no_so_private

Hello! I am new here, but not new to Python.

   I am going to try to use ht2html to generate a small static site from
templates. I need to override many methods in Skeleton/Sidebar, but I
cannot - they are mangled because they are __private.

   So here is the patch to fix it:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1039985&group_id=46757&atid=447267

   The patch makes private names no so private. I renamed almost all
__vars to _vars (with some exception, most notably LinkFixer, because
there are rootdir/relthis/myurl accessors), and all __method_names to
_method_names.
   The patch is against the CVS version.

   Any opinion? objection?

   I'd like to provide a test case, but I cannot even start without this
patch, because Skeleton._do_head() inserts timestamps in the HTML
header, which is a nuisance.


PS. Also I am considering other approaches. I've tried Website DocBook
stylesheet and found that 4Suite is too weak to handle it... may be I'll
try libxml2 later. Also I think I can create a "master" site using a
dynamic framework (Quixote, Zope, etc.) and use wget to generate a
static copy; this approach seems a bit overkill for me, because it
recreates the entire site with wget, where with ht2html I can update
only those files whose templates was changed. If anyone has an opinion
on this or other approaches - please don't hesitate to tell me.

Oleg.
