None of those are anything like Cocoon. I can't think of any other

I'd move the functionality of the script into a separate file that
does end in .py, and only put the invocation into the .py-less
script.

Update, never mind. I found that the FooWrapper solution isn't so bad
after all -- and even better is putting the variable in question in a
different module entirely.
However, anyone who wants to answer the question is still welcome to.

Mike,
Thanks for your insight. It has been a big help.
I guess I was trying to learn too much with my original code. Trying to
implement inheritance, object creation, calling methods via inheritance
made the code harder than it needed to be.
