Good point Bob. I was thinking in the context of the question about
putting functions in classes or modules. However classes without
functions can still be useful if they have attributes.

In fact even a 'pass' class like the one under discussion can be
useful
in Python since we can add attributes at runtime to instances.
However, in general, empty classes(no attributes or methods) are
pretty useless.
