Hide script functions from keyword tests

I have a script with several functions and subfunctions. Some of the functions are called from KeywordTests, but others are just called from those functions. Is there any way to hide the subfunctions...

    Thanks cunderw. While this approach didn't exactly work in python, I used a class to essentially do the same thing.

     

    class Global:
    def hiddenFunction():
          //code

def visibleFunction():
    Global.hiddenFunction()
    //code

There are a couple ways you could do this actually if using javascript.

 

One is by using javascript objects / constructors that contain the functions you need;

 

function foo() {
   this.bar = function() {
      //code
  }
}

You can also create your function as a variable in the script unit

 

var bar = function() {
  //code

}

In both cases the function bar would not be accesible in a KWT.
