I’ve been working on a very simple crud generator for pylons. I came up with something that inspects
SomeClass._sa_class_manager.mapper.c Is it ok to inspect this (or to call methods begining with underscore)? I always kind of assumed this is legal though frowned upon as it relies heavily on the internal structure of a class/object. But hey, since python does not really have interfaces in the Java sense maybe it is OK.
It is intentional (in Python) that there are no ‘private’ scopes. It is a convention that anything that starts with an underscore should not ideally be used, and hence you may not complain if its behavior or definition changes in a next version.
