Accessing private data
Some data is marked as private to let other developers know they shouldn't access this directly
- e.g. in
s3xrc.py
we haveS3Resource.__set
&S3Resource.__query
This then means that Eclipse can't see these attributes as self.__set
, etc.
Instead need to use:
xxx._ClassName__AttributeName
e.g.:
resource._S3Resource__query resource._S3Resource__set
