We are in agreement there. PyCharm gives hints that you can make
function static, but I ended up turning it off. That case was an easy
example, but there is little benefit. In the first line of main we
have 'info = GLInfo()' which is clear enough.

LOL, that is a good example. I can't tell if there are any you missed
because I haven't used C++ in ~5 years.

True, I'll get around to fixing that break eventually. Atleast Python
is fast enough that it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of
things.
