Actually, I think it is a serious shortcoming of Java that it can't
have functions/methods that don't operate on specific objects at the
module level.  Python doesn't have the so-called "static" class
members because it doesn't restrict your program organization to using
only classes, but rather uses classes as object templates and modules
for grouping related functions that don't operate on a given class
instance.

What you are seeing here is the clash between Python's and Java's
concept of what an object is and what a class is.
