[Tutor] Private members?

Say I have a basic Circle class, for example:

class Circle:
    def __init__(self, radius):
        self.__radius = radius 

Does adding the double underscore make this member directly inaccessible to children of the Circle class?

Also, I'd like to know if there are any side effects to programming classes this way?
