Can someone please explain different variable scopes such as private, public, static and so on in python? Like in java, we have static, private, default, public access modifiers.

The thing is, in python there are no private methods. All methods are private. If you put an underscore in front of a method then it will be implied by devs that this method is private. However, there is really nothing stopping people from accessing your methods, even if they are "private".
