Hi Everyone,
I am proposing a new PEP, still in draft form, to impose a limit of one
million on various aspects of Python programs, such as the lines of
code
per module.
Any thoughts or feedback?

Overall I /like/ the idea of limits... /But.../ in my experience, limits
like this tend to impact generated source code or generated bytecode,
and thus any program that transitively uses those.
Hard limits within the Javaish world have been *a major pain* on the
Android platform for example. I wouldn't call workarounds
straightforward when it comes to total number of classes or methods in a
process.
Do you have any numbers? 1M is a lot bigger then 64K, but real world
numbers would be helpful.
If we're to adopt limits where there were previously none, we need to do
it via a multi-release deprecation cycle feedback loop to give people a
way to find report use cases that exceed the limits in real world
practical applications. So the limits can be reconsidered or the
recommended workarounds tested and agreed upon.
