I would try the following:

class model:
    def printFoo(self):
        print "foo"
class view:
    def __init__(self):
        self.model = model()
class controller:
    def __init__(self):
        self.model = model()

Then you can do:
vObj = view()
vObj.model.printFoo()

And:
cObj = controller()
cObj.model.printFoo()
