[Tutor] OOP and Python.. a gentle remark

[Asrarahmed Kadri]

Folks...

Please dont take it in a wrong sense. But I have a point to make regarding
OOP and the way it is implemented in Python.

 Why is it necessary to explicity use self argument in the class functions
?? I feel the language/interpreter should figure out which object has called
the function? Isnt it ? (the use of 'self' keyword really confuses me. and
to make matter worse the variables can be accessed from outside teh class.
Isnt it a violation of the OOP principle of ENCAPSULATION)

Also please let me know hwo can we declare PRIVATE VARIABLES in Python...??

Regards,
Asrarahmed

P.S. : I love Python. :)-
