If it is not time-critical and no needs to convert into 
CYTHON then it does not matter too much.

But a well wrapped class structures with good documents can 
help others to use the python codes a lot.

If the part is intended to be time-critical in the low level 
part, then  avoiding seeking 4 levels of methods and properties
inside a loop is helpful in python programs to be executed 
in the run time.
