Why does it have to be an inner anything? An ordinary, top-level, "outer" module is a perfectly good "container for functions, without caring about "self."" The Python "math" module, for example. As a long time, non-native speaker of Object Oriented, I must admit that I still don't understand the obsession with classes (a certain level of usefulness and arguably appropriateness for some kinds of problems, sure, but not the obsession).
