Excellent.  Code reuse is what it's all about!

That's pretty much what you do in Python.  Write your class into a
file called foo.py and save it.  Then, start up an interpreter and do
"import foo".  You might want to read about "modules" in the Python
tutorial (http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html).
