+1 on pulling the "random_password()" method out of the Class and setting it up as a module object. I'd still suggest using this sort of an import statement on it, though:
from myproject.myapp.helpers import random_password Where in this example you'd substitute your Project name with "myproject", the app name with "myapp" and the this particular python file with "helpers.py".
