At first: if he really like it he can place every class in a single file. But there are some reasons why Python "allows" you to place many classes in one file: - It's (a little bit) faster, no additional file system lookup is needed. ;) - You can define a class in a class. Django, for example, uses this for it's data models. If you do this you are forced to have multiple classes in on file.
