You don't *have* to artificially restrict yourself to one class per file.
In Python it's common to place several related classes in the same module
(i.e., file). You don't have to write so much boilerplate code as in Java,
so classes tend to be smaller in size; you may even find classes with an
empty body.
Uh? Have you read the Python Tutorial?
A small application may consist of just a main entry point and some
imported modules, all residing in the same directory. It might not require
to define any package. Perhaps later, when some module grows too much, you
may want to refactor it, creating a package. But try to keep simple things
simple.

I'm familar to java, so I'm tempted to use the same convention : 1 file
per class and 1 folders per package.

I know that packages doesn't exists in python, they are modules instead.
So, what are best practices for organizing files and folders in a small
python project ?
I've found PEP8 (http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) that gives a
lot of good hints on coding convention, but nothing about files
organization.
