Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

This paragraph follows a discussion and example of the fact that methods do *not* have to be defined within a class statement.

Any objections to changing

"The global scope associated with a method is the module containing the class definition. (The class itself is never used as a global scope.)"

to 

"The global scope associated with a method is the module containing its definition. (A class is never used as a global scope.)"

?
