It might help to think of your Python module as a "singleton" (the  
one-and-only instance of its class), and module variable as its  
static properties. In your code, this would for all practical  
purposes feel like a static var of the class. As with static  
properties, the namespace (path to the module or class) helps to  
avoid "global soup."

Just keep in mind this cautionary tale of "import myModule" vs. "from  
myModule import myVar":
