if you wan't to keep the number of files but not make them visible, 
consider packing them up in a ZIP file and then use the zipfile module and 
a custom import hook.
variants of this technique are used in py2exe and Installer.
this could also help:http://www.mcmillan-inc.com/iu.html

other possibilities could be packing them in string resources and feed them 
throug PyRun_SimpleString or use freeze to convert them to char arrays of 
bytecode. but i'm in favor of keeping them in a zip as this is the easiest 
to change/upgrade when you change one of your scripts.
