If a class' methods don't use self, it probably shouldn't be a class. I have often wished Python had proper namespaces, so I didn't have to abuse classes as containers in this way :-( (Not that I do this using "inner classes", but I do often want to use a class as a container for functions, without caring about "self" or wrapping everything in staticmethod.) -- Steven D'Aprano "Ever since I learned about confirmation bias, I've been seeing it everywhere." -- Jon Ronson -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
