Hi, This is the default behaviour. You can ovrcome that, but it will require extra work. For instance you could make use of pseudoprivate attributes (any attribute starting with double underscore, but not ending with dtwo underscores); or some managing attributes tool: *) __getattr__, __getattribute__ are generic ways to manage attribute fetching *) properties and descriptors allow a more specific way to control attributes (one by one) But, be careful. These tools can be very tricky at first. Hope it helps.
