It also means that Inner is not actually /in/ Outer, and the whole point 
was to have the class accessed as Outer.Inner.  But I can get what I 
wanted, if immediately after the definition of Outer I have:

    Outer.Inner = Inner
    del Inner


Thanks for the suggestion of "global Inner"!  That makes this approach 
palatable.
