Views are just Python functions. You can have any number of views, and
they can live in any number of separate files. You just need to
reference them properly in the urls.py file, to map a URL to the
specific view and the module it is in. The default views.py that is
created by the create_app command is just a template - in fact you can
do anything you like.
I'm not sure from your question whether you mean 60 separate views, or
whether some of the 60 functions you mention are utility functions.
Either way, you can separate them out in any way you find logical. If
they are utility functions, you can just import them at the top of
your main views.py file. If they are actual views, you can just refer
to them from urls.py.
For example, your urls.py might look like this:
...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^articles/$', 'views.index'),
(r'^articles/(\d{4})/$', 'views.year_archive'),
...
(r'^special/$', 'special_views.index'),
)
etc., where there are two files containing views - views.py and
special_views.py.
Hope this helps.
