I wouldn't generally name the class and the singleton the same, but just
because that is confusing -- if you look briefly at the code you'll
initially think that TheSomething is a class, when it is actually an
instance.  Better would be:

class _Something:
    ....

TheSomething = _Something()
del _Something
