PrivateAttribute
✓ from private_attribute_cpp import PrivateAttribute
The correct import path.

Shows how to use PrivateAttribute to define a private attribute in a Python class.

from private_attribute_cpp import PrivateAttribute # Define a class with a private attribute class MyClass: def __init__(self): self.__private_attr = PrivateAttribute('private_value') def get_private_attr(self): return self.__private_attr obj = MyClass() print(obj.get_private_attr()) # Access via method
Debug
Known issues
gotchaThe 'PrivateAttribute' object itself does not enforce privacy at the Python level; it's a marker for C++ extensions. The privacy is only enforced when accessed from C++ code.
fix
Use Python name mangling (double underscore) for true Python-level privacy; rely on PrivateAttribute only for C++ integration.
affects: all
gotchaIf you import directly from 'private_attribute_cpp' without having pybind11 installed, you may get a cryptic error about missing shared library.
fix
Ensure pybind11 is installed: pip install pybind11
