Private, yes (sort of). See
http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/node11.html#SECTION0011600000000000000000
for more info.

You can not create protected attributes in Python. Everything is public or
private.

Static attributes (class attributes) are created by putting them immideately
after the "class <classname>":

>>> class A:
...     sa = 1
... 
>>> a = A()
>>> A.sa
1
>>> a.sa
1
>>> A.sa += 1
>>> A.sa
2
>>> a.sa
2

I'm not very familiar with java, but I'm guessing static attributes work
similar to this there.
