There is another possibility which is probably what I would do - just
define the class at global scope in the same module that uses it.
Instead of
def f():
class Z(object):
pass
# do something with Z
write
def f():
# do something with Z
class Z(object):
pass
I.e. you don't have to put the class def'n in a separate module.
