>> **Encapsulation** is one of the 3 basic characteristics of OOP.
This isn't an encapsulation issue. From the first hit on Google for the
word:
In programming, the process of combining elements to create a new
entity. For example, a procedure is a type of encapsulation because it
combines a series of computer instructions. Likewise, a complex data
type, such as a record or class, relies on encapsulation. Object-
oriented programming languages rely heavily on encapsulation to create
high-level objects. Encapsulation is closely related to abstraction and
information hiding.
Python does encapsulation just fine. Your beef is with its information
hiding.
