You can also do this in only two lines, if that's really important to you.
if year < 500: year += 2000
else: year += 1000
Personally, I don't mind running a few extra lines. I can generally get
enough visible in my editor that it's not a problem -- functions/methods
that are more than a screen long are rather rare. And when I need to
see two more-widely separated functions at once... well, that's what
code folding is for. :)
