title: How to make a function usable by a class but not by it's subclasses in python
body: <p>I remember that there is some sort of syntax that will make a function of a class only callable by that class and not by any subclasses that inherit the functions of that class, but I can't recall exactly what it is and google has been of no help to me. Can anyone remind me how I would go about doing this?</p>
