python中没有严格意义上的私有成员_Python中的私有成员

“Private” instance variables that

cannot be accessed except from inside

an object, don’t exist in Python.

However, there is a convention that is

followed by most Python code: a name

prefixed with an underscore (e.g.

_spam) should be treated as a non-public part of the API (whether it

is a function, a method or a data

member). It should be considered an

implementation detail and subject to

change without notice.

Since there is a valid use-case for

class-private members (namely to avoid

name clashes of names with names

defined by subclasses), there is

limited support for such a mechanism,

called name mangling. Any identifier

of the form __spam (at least two

leading underscores, at most one

trailing underscore) is textually

replaced with _classname__spam, where

classname is the current class name

with leading underscore(s) stripped.

This mangling is done without regard

to the syntactic position of the

identifier, as long as it occurs

within the definition of a class.
