Introduction to Python Classes - Object-Oriented Python

In this Python video tutorial we demonstrate how to create a base Python class, which is really just a custom data type. We create a Python object using a magic constructor (__init__), then change an attribute, as well as print out the object using the __str__ method.

Useful video! However, is there a way to change class attributes in instances?

@pdeteresa - what exactly are you trying to accomplish? If you are not implementing encapsulation using private attributes, you can simply create the attributes on the fly using dot notation with the instance. However, using private attributes is a better practice. We'll try to upload another video tutorial on implementing private attributes soon.

awesome... thanks!

Easy to understand and usefull! Is that private attributes means loading data from outside?
