In the previous chapters, you looked at Python’s main built-in object types (numbers, strings, lists, tuples, and dictionaries); you peeked at the wealth of built-in functions and standard libraries; and you even created your own functions. Now, only one thing seems to be missing—making your own objects. And that’s what you do in this chapter.

Some languages support several degrees of privacy for its member variables (attributes). Java, for example, has four different levels. Python doesn’t really have equivalent privacy support, although single and double initial underscores do to some extent give you two levels of privacy.
