This naming was introduced in 2016 without explanation [1]. I find it confusing because: - It's reminiscent of "_app", which is a Python convention indicating the variable is internal, so maybe avoid using it. - It suggests there's some other "app" fixture I should be using (there isn't, though). The Python style guide describes using an underscore suffix to avoid clashes with inbuilt names [1], which is sort of applicable if we need to import the "app" module [2]. However, we can also avoid clashes by choosing a different name, without the strange underscore. [1]:3b1d521c10[2]:78824f54fd/tests/app/main/views/test_forgot_password.py (L5)
