How does Python enforce the private access modifier for class members?
- By defining a 'private' keyword
- By enclosing members in curly braces {}
- By prefixing with an underscore (_)
- By using the 'private' keyword
In Python, private access to class members is conventionally enforced by prefixing their names with an underscore (_). While this doesn't make them entirely inaccessible, it signals to other developers that these members should be treated as private and not accessed directly. It's a convention, not a strict enforcement, and it's part of Python's "we are all consenting adults here" philosophy.
