Why? You are allowed to break a function into subfunctions, you know.
In fact, if you find yourself introducing coding "paragraphs" with
comments:
def f(...):
# I'll start by doing this
...
# segueing into the middle portion
...
# and finish it off as follows
...
you had better break those paragraphs off into separate functions. Just
turn your comments into function names.
