Code structure question

[adriesse]

I want to add a set of related functions and helper functions to pvlib.irradiance. What do you all think about using a class with static methods as discussed here. There will be an array of constants too, which would be nicely contained inside the class.

Discussion is in Google groups.

I was going to add something, but my thoughts echo what Kevin and Cliff already said over in the Google groups thread.

All other things being equal, I’d prefer an irradiance sub-package with separate modules containing constants, related functions, etc.
