What's `Main` useful for?  Is Java shining through again?  A class with
just static methods isn't a class but just a container for functions.  But
functions usually live in modules in Python so get rid of that class and
move the functions to module level.

`stepStore` is searched in the function and then in the module.  But it
is defined in the class.  So you have to access `Main.stepStore`.  Unless
you are modifying `stepStore.stepList` while iterating over it, you don't
need to make a copy by the way.
