Modules and Namespaces

[Larry Bates]

One way is to pass the RS object when you instantiate
an instance of srfBase, something like:

 class srfBase:
     '''Base class inherited by the srf* classes, binding general Rhino
 surface functionality to a particular
     surface generation method'''
     def __init__(self, RS):
         self.id   = 'self.id srfBase'
         self.RS=RS
         return
     def isBrep(self):
         return self.RS.IsBrep(self.id)
     def isPointInSurface(self, coord):
         return self.RS.IsPointInSurface(self.id, coord)

This is how most of wxWindows seems to do things.
