Re: One module per class, bad idea?

Yes, it would be a bad idea. =)

Saying it is a bad idea and not explaining why will not help anyone. I
would like you to elaborate on why it is a bad idea to have one file
per class.

Thanks,

Because it's just a useless limitation.
Python lets you the freedom to decide if using one class per file or a
lot of classes per file and this, imho, is a great advantage of Python
other Java.
Personally I like to have the possibility to include multiple classes
in one module if I need them. Obviously I'll hardly mix classes having
different tasks in the same .py file.
If you come from Java feel free to use the Java approach.
