You can still do that. Just make the internal class... well,
internal.. :)

>>> class Foo:
>>>    class Bar:
>>>        x = 1
>>>    def __init__(self):
>>>        aBar = Foo.Bar()
>>>        print aBar.x
>>>
>>> f = Foo()
1

Then the Bar class is just a member of Foo.
I guess I should say one and only one TOP LEVEL class..
