No, I'm already quite certain that this is a Singleton--pythonically a
module-level instance of Something--I'm not thinking of it as "lazy
instantiated" 'cuz it's initialized at startup, but I suppose it
qualifies.

I considered using a Borg for this, but discarded the idea as "too
complicated for my needs--this will be easier to implement . . . "

Which I suppose it would be if I knew how correctly to use the "global"
keyword.

I don't need to restrict the actual class to One Instance so much as I'd
prefer that to be the default behavior. I can't think of a reason why
I'd want to subclass this, so I can't say whether it makes sense to
Borg/Highlander/Singleton it or not. For now, I'll Do The Simplest
Thing That Might Work and figure YAGNI (or IAGNI, I guess).

Thanks for the help.
