  PRAW, an acronym for "Python Reddit API Wrapper", is a python package that allows for simple access to Reddit's API.

  

The example you give is a pretty good one for just having a module full of little helpers, like printing the current time. But let's say the method was "age", which took the parent or kid's birthdate and compared it to local time to get their age. The difference is that you need a method that is aware of the instance variables. In that case, then you have a pretty good use case for mixins, https://www.residentmar.io/2019/07/07/python-mixins.html. Here is an example of mixins in the wild: https://github.com/praw-dev/praw/tree/master/praw/models/listing/mixins
