title: How do I override a parent class's functions in python?
body: <p>I have a private method <code>def __pickSide(self):</code> in a parent class that I would like to override in the child class. However, the child class still calls the inherited <code>def __pickSide(self):</code>. How can I override the function? The child class's function name is exactly the same as the parent's function name.</p>
