How big can a Python program be?

[Ben Last]

The last few of a list of wc's run on the Enthought Python 2.3.3
distribution.  First element of the tuple is line count, second is module
filename.  I'm sure whole packages would be much bigger, but I was curious
as to how big a typical module might get.
