[Python-Dev] #include "Python.h"

I have a newbie question about CPython.
Looking at the C code I noted that for example in tupleobject.c there is
only one include
#include "Python.h"

Python.h actually includes everything as far as I can I see so:
- it's very hard with a not-enough smart editor to find out where the
   not-locally defined symbols are actually defined (well sure that is
   not a problem for most of the people)

- if all the files include python.h, doesn't it generate very big object
   files? Or is it not a problem since they are stripped out after?

Thanks,
Andrea
