Short answer - 1.5 (or - so long ago that it doesn't matter anymore)
Long answer - There are no true private variables in Python. Just
private variables names by convention.

See Python docs for a detailed explanation.

Haha.

The ones that are provided for convenience (via name mangling) that
aren't really private if you wish to violate convention.
