I agree.  To one of my friends, there's plenty of information in the
context that isn't a newsgroup.  So I'll state more about my
background.

Classes and modules are really similar.  In Python they're really
*really* similar.

Actually, at this point, that observation may have more of a
subjective component than I'm used to asserting.  I pause here for
corroboration and others' perspectives.  Aren't they?
