For pure Python code I'd use a module instead of a namespace - but the
syntax isn't as nice.
class SomeClass(object):
pass
import imp
mod = imp.new_module("name")
mod.SomeClass = SomeClass
Your way is fine, if a slightly odd use of the class statement - but a
module is a better match for the namespace concept in Python terms. The
downside of a module is that it will also contain the builtins. The
downside of a class is that it will have some default methods.
