Put those functions you wrote into their own module, say myfuns.py.  Import 
that module from each of the modules implementing Class1 and Class2, at
the start of the module, i.e., have:

import myfuns

early in each of the class1.py and class2.py modules.

Then whenever in those importing modules you need to call a given
function, say, givefu, defined in myfuns.py, call myfuns.givefu().
