Classes as namespaces are a valid use case (I do it all the time).
Python 3 has a small cleanup that makes classes even closer to module
namespaces;  namely the concept of "unbound methods" goes away.  In
3.x when you get a function from a class you get the function itself
and not an unbound function.
