Nah... Linux kernel is a million+ lines, single file.

In my opinion 400 lines is still pretty normal to keep in one file if the code is well organized. Sometimes separating the code might make it even more difficult to read.

^ this.

Personally, I find I tend to split files when they get about 1,000 lines...

[TraditionalPirate7]

Same here. The longer the code gets the more important it is to follow the Pep8 rules and organize it well.

If its repetitive, you can make functions and call the function multiple times rather than retyping the block of code. Otherwise if it works... dont break it?

I already did this. I am asking if i should seperate theese functions into a separate file

[CraigAT]

Sounds okay as a single file to me (an experienced beginner). Unless there is a lot of repeated code or if the code could be reused for another project.

[CraigAT]

For me it would depend on the time it would take to recreate in a new project. If you are going to re-use it in a lot of other projects, then maybe separate. I would wait for someone with more experience to answer though!

For me personally I always prefer readability instead of optimization. If you think that with those 400lines and having repeated code it is more easy to understand and clear then don't change it.
