All,

What's the preference on methods that could be functions?   pylint is currently complaining on any class method that doesn't access 'self', meaning that the method doesn't necessarily need to be a part of a class.   I'm going back and forth on it.  I tend to think it makes sense to keep some things as a part of a class for organizational purposes... but I don't know.

Some examples are in nova/compute/model.py's InstanceDirectory.  Most of the methods don't need to be a part of the class, but I can see where it's nice to organize it all that way...   If we want to keep it, I think we may want to make pylint ignore this code?

Thoughts?
