Will python never intend to support private, protected and public?

Honestly I like to use private/protect/public modifiers in C++ for the
sake of code documentation. I like to know which attributes are
dedicated to be known by other objects, which ones are for internal use
only and which ones should be at least publicly accessible within a
class hierarchy. This helps structuring code in the large and spotting
attention. Code becomes easier accessible. But if we have Sunday or I
get asked by serious programmers I also know the right technical
answers about protection rights, security etc.
