Wouldn't it have been easier had everything either been a > function or a class method? I'm not sure what you mean here. modules are modules, they can contain functions, classes, top-level code. Functions and class-methods are similar, but there are some differences that make sense. But I'm not sure if you really _mean_ class methods, given that you confuse so much. The python community is a unusually friendly bunch of people. Yet you should consider not calling things you don't understand "annoyances".
