Best general packages to use for Python projects
Not so much for the project but for project support I always use black for formatting. mypy to check my code. pydocstyle to check the comments.

Why do people use multiple scripts when programming in Python?
Cyclomatic Complexity is a metric used to determine the stability of your code. It basically boils down to the more code you have the more problems that can arise in said code. There are even modules for python to check your cyclomatic complexity. It goes hand in hand with separating your code out into modules. I work for a FAANG company and we usually want to keep our cyclomatic complexity less than 10 with that tool above.

Pybudget: A Solution to My Small-Brain Financial Decisions
A more advanced best practice would be separating different functions of your code into different files to keep Cyclomatic Complexity low. More code usually = more problems can be in said code. There’s even a tool you can use to determine how complex your code is called mccabe. Lower is better with that
