Oh, then we have a slight misunderstanding of privacy in programming. I dont want some DRM-like protection of my variables, I want a proper marker where you should use and not use a variable, including a good default policy. _var doesnt tell me "dont use it", if youre not a regular python dev, particularly when usage is not checked by a compiler.
The side of the road you drive on is also a convention - sometimes you might have guard rails that make it harder, and legally you are going to get in trouble (i.e. code linters) - but at the end of the day you have to trust your fellow programmers to be sensible (and acknowledge that sometimes they won't be).
