I also like the idea to get the fact whether or not an event is enabled as a property of the class:

MyObjFromClass.NoEvents=True

This also means that when you apply it to a class, you will be disabling just for one instance of that class and not for all instances (which happens if you use a global variable), which gives you more control.

You admit to using it yourself and I know I do. I know it makes a module slightly less modular and is probably an affront to various syntax style rules but where else does it impact? I'm sure you're right it's bad, just can't see why myself.</p> I guess my only question is in reality what’s so bad about having the one global variable instead of one per class module?
