Which I've never really seen the point of in Python,
or any other language for that matter. Just create
one instance of the class during initialisation,
put it in a global somewhere, and use it thereafter.

If you really want to make sure nobody creates
another instance by accident, delete the class
out of the namespace after instantiating it.
