Modularize. Treat each module as a separate product with its own release cycle, documentation, apis, ownership etc. What is a reasonable size of a module? It is something you would consider replacing with a new implementation with a moderate effort (say, in a single quarter). > CPython is a large and complex program.

I don't know CPython specifically to give solid recommendations, but I would imagine the core language engine should be in a repository separate from the standard library, and most standard library modules should be in their respective repositories and have their individual internal release cycles. A CPython release would then weave the package together from the components that were previously (internally) released. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
