Actually, that's what I'd call "small".  "Medium" would be about 30-50
classes (Python mostly has multiple classes per file, unlike Java, so
number of files is usally a poor measure of complexity).  Something about
the right complexity level for what you're looking for can be found in
several parts of the Python standard library, including the thread,
threading, and Queue modules (although I haven't looked at the code
recently, so I can't vouch for its quality).

Another option would be dnspython, but that's getting a bit larger than
you're looking for.
