My personal convention in C++ was to use an m prefix on member variables and a g for class variables.
I guess in Python, I think of _ as equivalent to protected scope in C++ and __ (double underscore) as equivalent to private. Not a perfect analogy, but it works for me.
Another common naming convention in C++ is using an underscore as prefix for member variables: int _memberVariable{123};

Same thing in Python, double underscore prefix triggers “name mangling”. There are issues that can pop up when using it if not aware.
