According to http://www.faqs.org/docs/diveintopython/fileinfo_private.html:
Like most languages, Python has the
concept of private elements:
- Private
functions, which can’t be called from
outside their module
However, if I define two files:
#a.py
__num=1
and:
#b.py
import a
print a.__num
when i run b.py it prints out 1 without giving any exception. Is diveintopython wrong, or did I misunderstand something? And is there some way to do define a module’s function as private?
