Python private class fields, how to make? [duplicate]

Question

I'm beginner. In Delphi I can make private field in class: moving it to private section. So ClassVar.Field doesn't exist out of class.

In Python, if I make class

class CName:
  testname = 10

then testname can be accessed always. How can I make a field "private"?

You can't!

Naming fields with two underscores will hide it (generate a new name) but you will always be able to access it. Try __testname = 10
