I think that the main reasons for doing so are as follows: git status provides much more usefull output when the source files are separate. If all your code is in one file, than git status tells you nothing about what has changed, yet git diff will provide you with overly verbose output. The seccond reason is that when refactoring code, it is much easier to manage a todo list when one knows which files have been processed already/what needs to be processed. This is especially true if the refactor will take several days or be done by several people. Tim -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
