in python, what's the difference between using @property and using __variable for read-only?

Answer 1

@property allows you to write something like this:

instance.attribute = whatever.

Which looks like you're assigning something, but in the background, something completely different happens (keyword: encapsulation).

I don't know exactly the relation you see with __-attributes. Can you explain a bit more?

Answer 2

nvm i tested it and those are completly different things, thank you
