correction: it's actually only 14000 lines, but it's still the largest hand-
written component we have in the standard library (when combined).
~90 modules, ~120 classes.

(the mac library is larger, and so is encodings, but large parts of those are
autogenerated from character databases and header files.  and idle is larger
than distutils, but smaller than distutils+setuptools)
