A list of special method names is here, but it’s not an exhaustive of magic names — for example, methods
__copy__and__deepcopy__are mentioned here instead, the__all__variable is here, class attributes such as__name__,__bases__, etc are here, and so on. I don’t know of any single authoritative list of all such names defined in any given release of the language.However, if you want to check on any single given special name, say
__foo__, just search for it in the “Quick search” box of the Python docs (any of the above URLs will do!) — this way you will find it if it’s officially part of the language, and if you don’t find it you’ll know it is a mistaken usage on the part of some package or framework that’s violating the language’s conventions.
