Python Private Attributes & Methods Explained

Private attributes and methods in Python refer to attributes and methods that are named with a double underscore at the beginning in a class. Private attributes and methods can only be accessed internally within the class, and cannot be directly accessed or called from outside. This effectively hides the internal implementation details of the class, preventing unnecessary errors or impacts from external modifications or calls to private attributes and methods. To access private attributes and methods, indirect access can be achieved by defining public methods within the class.
