Name Mangling in Python— Attributes That Shouldn’t Be Accessed Directly

class Dog:
  def __init__(self, name, age):
    self.name = name
    self.age = age

dog = Dog('rocky', 5)

print(dog.name) # rocky
print(dog.age)  # 5

^ here we have a normal Python Dog class with 2 attributes .name and .age — if we attempt to access these attributes directly by using dog.name and dog.age, we can do so without problem
