For example, with mypy: https://mypy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/final_attrs.html If mypy is not catching cases of rebinding, then that would likely be treated as a bug by the maintainers.

Read-only member variables. see above, this is already provided by mypy There are Private members in Java and C++. But I believe they are not their > to hide things.
