Скачать или смотреть OOP in Python - 09: Private Fields in Python Classes – Encapsulation Basics

So far, we’ve explored the core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming in Python—like classes, objects, fields, and methods.

In this session, we’ll take the first step toward Encapsulation, a key principle in OOP.
Encapsulation allows you to protect an object’s internal state and control how it’s accessed and modified.

🔐 Private fields help you:
Prevent unauthorized or accidental modification
Enforce valid object state
Keep your class logic clean and safe

Unlike languages like Java or C++, Python uses name mangling (prefixing with double underscores __) to simulate private fields.

✅ We’ll learn how to define private attributes
✅ Why they matter in real applications
✅ And how Python’s approach to privacy differs from other languages

➡️ In the next video, we’ll cover how to safely expose and update these private fields using getter and setter methods.
