Sorry, I meant to go back and edit that phrase to sound less condescending. I know there are a lot of professional programmers on here, and I didn't mean to imply otherwise. It wasn't supposed to be a contrast to everyone, just introducing myself. I totally agree with you... there's a balance between too many files and files that are too large. As to the guy who writes 1000+ line classes .... dude, refactor some. You're trying to make the class do too much, almost by definition. We have *some* classes that big, and they're marked as "needs refactor". It's certainly not a common occurance, though. Usually they're UI classes, since they require a lot of verbose positioning of elements and hooking of events. And while people are reading this thread, let me plug my other thread, asking about absolute_import. I'd really love some help :) -Nate -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
