No-one seems to have come out and said this yet (unless it was in one of those messages that no longer seem to be accessible on my ISP’s news server): Python has no provision for visibility control. That’s it. No public/private/protected or anything like that. Everything defined directly within a module or class is visible outside it using dir(module_or_class). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
