How would you proceed to protect this inner states? In C++ private members they can be accessed through a cast to void pointer. In Java it can be done through introspection. In C# it can be done through introspection or casting to void pointer in an 'unsafe' block. There is no way you can protect inner states of an object, it is just an illusion you may have. Python have properties as well. Properties has nothing to do with hiding attributes. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
