Also: I see nothing wrong with a single module having 3-4K lines in
it. Hilfe, the Pike REPL/interactive interpreter, is about that long
and it's not a problem to maintain. The Python decimal module (as
opposed to CDecimal) is twice that, in the installation I have here to
check. My primary C++ module from work was about 5K lines, I think -
of that order, at least.

Python modules don't need to be split up into tiny fragments.
Flat is better than nested.
