You'll note that this is, all Aaron's protests to the contrary,
splitting your class up into multiple cooperating classes.  If
you're set on doing it like this, doing it this way avoids
polluting your namespace so much:

class ClsB(object):
     class ClsA(object):
         def do_something(self):
             print "Here's A doing something"

     def __init__(self):
         self.A = ClsB.ClsA()

     def do_something(self):
         print "Here's B doing something"

b = ClsB()
b.do_something()
b.A.do_something()
