Python Classroom notes 16/Jul/2026

Access modifiers

• Instead fo strict keywords like public, private, protected Python uses naming conventions to indicate the scope of variables and methods

• By default, all the members in python class are public

• The reason python doesn’t force the rules is We are all consenting adults here

• Conventions

| Access Level | Convention | Accessibility |
| ———– | ———- | ————- |
| Public | var | Accessed from anywhere |
| Protected | _var | Intended for internal use (convention only) |
| private | __var | Internal usel triggers name mangling to prevent accidental usage|
