function v. method

(Apollogies to fuzzylollipop for replying to them rather than the list!)

Python does have ALREADY have an OFFICAL mechanism for private members,

Could you elaborate on that a little or point me in the right direction to
read up on it? I'm currently re-writing a large lump of my coding and trying
to use best practice. I thought it was considered good practice to make
stuff private (in this case using __ ) that wasn't intened to be accessed
from outside the function/class?

Cheers for your help.
