Right, continuing from @panchal_archanaa’s point, you can also consider using a single underscore (_private) to indicate that a method or attribute is intended to be private within the class, though it’s not enforced by Python. This is more of a convention—it’s like saying, “Hey, this is for internal use only,” but you can still access it from outside the class if you really need to.
It’s not really about restricting access; it’s more about signaling to other developers that you shouldn’t be messing with these methods unless you know what you’re doing. It’s kind of a gentle reminder, like saying “please don’t” rather than “you can’t.”
Here’s an example:
class A:
def _private(self):
pass
In this case, _private is still accessible from outside the class, but by convention, it’s meant to stay within the class. It’s up to the programmer to respect that convention when using python private methods.
