How does Python do encapsulation, since it has no private keyword?
Model answer
By convention: a name with one leading underscore (_value) means "internal, do not use from outside". Two leading underscores trigger name mangling (__value becomes _Class__value) to avoid clashes in subclasses. Use properties to control access. Nothing is truly private, it relies on convention and trust.
