== Module object equivalence ==
There's nothing dubious at all about this. A module is a collection of shared state (stored in module-level globals) combined with a set of functions that operate on that state. An object (in the sense of class instance) is a collection of shared state (stored in 'self') combined with a set of functions that operate on that state (i.e. methods). The only really substantial difference between the two is that -- generally -- modules can only be instantiated once, while there can be multiple instantiations of the same class. If no one disputes this, I'm deleting this tag.
