It is prefered plain text, not HTML.
If the code is long, usually is beter as an attachement, with the little parts you want to comment also into the body of mail. ( yours it not too long).
If the code is very long, and or needs media file, put a compresed archive somewhere and post the link.

Not enought context to tell wat was going . What is \'ones\' ?

you can spare the 0, when range has only one param it asumes begin at 0

seems ok, if self.tileset is initialized to a pygame surface anywhere

Why the names begins with \'__\'  ? Usually its only used to hide members.
To the readers convey the sense  \'We play tricks with this members, dont touch\'

Returns None any time

Its ok, but you could use

def validIndex(self,x,y):
    return (0<=x<self.__cols) and (0<=y<self.__rows)

This class seems to perform as desired, but in Python style seems unnecesary:
what about

#function)
def makeMatrix(cols,rows):
    return [ [None for row in range(rows)] for col in range(cols) ]


m=makeMatrix(4,5) #create a matrix
# len(m) is cols
# len(m[0]) is rows


m[0][0] =\'0_0\'
m[0][1] =\'0_1\'
m[1][0] =\'1_0\'

print m
