How do you decide when to keep a project in a single python file vs break it up into multiple files?

• Airflow

Check out taskinstance.py in the Airflow project, it's a well targeted file, it has only one main class TaskInstance and a few small supporting classes and functions. It is ~3000 lines long: https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/airflow/models/taskinstance.py

• MicroPython
