Python has no data hiding because C++ has (void *). Python underscores does some name mangling, but does not attempt any data hiding. Python and C has about the same approach to data hiding. It is well tried, and works equally well in both languages: # this is mine, keep your filthy paws off!!! Irresponsible programmers should not be allowed near a computer anyway. If you use data hiding to protect your code from yourself, what you really need is some time off to reconsider your career. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
