# 5. Inner Workings of Python Objects
|
|
|
|
This section covers some of the inner workings of Python objects.
|
|
Programmers coming from other programming languages often find
|
|
Python's notion of classes lacking in features. For example, there is
|
|
no notion of access-control (e.g., private, protected), the whole
|
|
`self` argument feels weird, and frankly, working with objects
|
|
sometimes feel like a "free for all." Maybe that's true, but we'll
|
|
find out how it all works as well as some common programming idioms to
|
|
better encapsulate the internals of objects.
|
|
|
|
It's not necessary to worry about the inner details to be productive.
|
|
However, most Python coders have a basic awareness of how classes
|
|
work. So, that's why we're covering it.
