That code sounds kind of smelly... why are there so many methods per
class?  

Python lets you inject new methods into existing classes (this is
sometimes called duck punching) but I don't recommend doing this.

A few hundred lines of code in a file is completely reasonable.  Even a
few thousand is ok.  IME it starts getting unwieldy at 3000 or so.
