Hi Pranav, I would pose a counter question regarding object oriented programming. How did you learn OOP concepts? I am assuming like most of us, probably through a C++ or Java course. These courses ingrain a certain expectation of what OOP should "look like". Which to me seems to be a dis-service to underpinnings of Object Oriented Paradigm itself.
Python implements OOP differently from imperative languages of C family like C++ and Java. The reason, I think is C++ and Java are very much driven towards machine code efficiency whereas Python is very much about developers productive. To this end Python developers must have thought of data hiding as not an important language goal. Mind you Python does allow data hiding through slots but it is not as straight forward as C++ or Java. regards On Tue, Oct 15, 2013 at 2:33 PM, Dhruv Baldawa <dhruvbald...@gmail.com>wrote: > Also take a look at videos by Raymond Hettinger > http://pyvideo.org/speaker/138/raymond-hettinger > > -- > Dhruv Baldawa > (http://www.dhruvb.com) > > > On Tue, Oct 15, 2013 at 1:58 PM, T S KAMATH <tsk.kam...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Dear Pranav, > > > > The following video would get you understand better > > http://www.sagemath.org/help-video.html check for Google I_O 2008 - > > Painless Python Part 1 & 2 > > > > Srikanth > > > > On 14-Oct-2013, at 10:16 PM, Pranav Raj <pranav09...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi fellow python lovers, > > > > I wanted to do OOPS programming in python, but i just found out that > there > > are no private variables in python.
