So, I have to admit, imports have me really confused.  I am trying to

Please don't break the file up for the sake of doing it, you're
writing python not java :-)

Agreed, but 10,000 lines is a pretty good reason for breaking up a file.

Fair comment I should have said this originally.


The largest single module in the Python standard library is decimal.py,
and that's only 6250 lines. With 18 classes and 20 top-level functions,
to my mind, that's about the limit of maintainability for a single file.



Thanks for answering the question that I was about to ask :) Agreed about the limit.
