I have a class which is not intended to be instantiated. Instead of using the class to creating an instance and then operate on it, I use the class directly, with classmethods. Essentially, the class is used as a function that keeps state from one call to the next.
The problem is that I don't know what to call such a thing! "Abstract class" isn't right, because that implies that you should subclass the class and then instantiate the subclasses. What do you call such a class? -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
