Hm, that's not how I tend to hack on things (except when working with
others who like that style).  Why do you find hacking on several
(many?) small files easier for you than on a single large file?
Surely not because loading a large file (in the editor, or in Python)
takes too long?  That was in the 80s. :-)  Is it because multiple
Emacs buffers allow you to maintain multiple current positions, with
all the context that that entails?  Or is it something else?
