It also means that Inner is not actually /in/ Outer, and the whole point 
was to have the class accessed as Outer.Inner. But I can get what I 
wanted, if immediately after the definition of Outer I have:
 Outer.Inner = Inner
 del Inner
Thanks for the suggestion of "global Inner"! That makes this approach 
palatable.
