python access modifiers

# In python access modifying can be done by prefixing the underscore character '_' to the variable name.

# Prefixing no underscores makes the variable public.
# Prefixing 1 underscore makes the variable protected.
# Prefixing 2 underscores makes the variable private.

# In the following example, name is public, __make is private, _model is protected.
class Car:
    def __init__(self):
        print("Engine started")
        self.__make = "toyota"
        self._model = 1999
        self.name = "corolla"
