If pylint performs the data access protection checks you want, then it seems to me that it would be a better idea to mandate the use of pylint on any projects you're working on - either in the IDE or when checking in to a repository - rather than slow down Python as a whole by providing functionality that doesn't seem to be in demand by the majority of users. I've never understood why so many things "must" reside in the language itself when the same effect can be achieved through a well written module. (And that's not even commenting on the whole "I have no skill in this area and only second-hand knowledge that it's possible but it's *obvious* to me that it's trivial and *someone else* should easily be able to do the work for me!" nature of your post...) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
