pyext is a module that is generated inside the py/pyext external and is 
not available in normal Python.
In principle you can declare and use Python classes within pyext without 
inheriting from pyext._class if you don't use self._outlet, self._send 
and so on.
On the other hand it doesn't make much sense to use these in plain 
Python (outside PD) because they are supposed to stand for PD externals
