Well, if you want to store state, you should really be using a class. What has made you think that your program doesn't "need a class"? There's no "need", there's just what's best suited to your problem case (which you have not made clear, so nobody can comment on it). No experienced Python programmers are going to universally tell you not to use classes, likewise, no experienced Python programmers are going to universally tell you to use them all the time. It's a matter of context and suitability, which is entirely dependent on what it is that you are coding in the first place. I would doubt that anyone has told you "don't ever use classes", because that's nonsense; you've probably misread a dissuasion from that path in a single instance as applying more broadly than was intended.
