Choose: class with static methods or module with functions

[Ravi]

I have to create a few helper/utility application-wide functions.
There are two options:

1. Create a Utility class and all functions as static method of that
class.

2. Create a module, utility.py and member functions.

Which is a better approach.

My personal view is that I should create a module with functions.
Classes are appropriate only when I am creating new types.
