What’s the best way to create a static utility class in python? Is using metaclasses code smell?
Ok so I need to create a bunch of utility classes in python. Normally I would just use a simple module for this but I need to be able to inherit in order to share common code between them.

I don’t like singletons, and classes that use the classmethod decorator do not have proper support for python properties.
