Creating a private method inside of a class

from python_access_modifiers import private

class Example():
    @private
    def private_method(self) -> None:
        print("Private method called")

    def public_method(self) -> None:
        print("Public method called")
        self.private_method()

example_class = Example()
example_class.public_method()
