Base classes or global functions

[Eric Texier]

In case of scenari #3, I like personnally the use of staticmethod

class utilHelper:
    ''' some initialization code and variable can happen here when the module
        is loaded
    '''
    def somefunction(params):
       ....

    somefunction = staticmethod(somefunction)
