Access modifiers in Python help developers control the accessibility of class members and ensure better data encapsulation. Unlike languages such as Java or C++, Python doesn’t have strict keywords for access control. Instead, it follows a naming convention-based approach. A variable or method without underscores is public, a single underscore prefix indicates protected, and a double underscore makes it private. Understanding these modifiers is crucial for writing clean, maintainable, and secure Python code. In this tutorial, we explore public, protected, and private access modifiers with examples, best practices, and tips to apply them effectively in real-world projects.
