It's not that easy, unfortunately this is a limitation of the JVM.
Methods can't be larger than 64K bytes.
There's a bug logged for a similar situation for large Strings:
http://bugs.jython.org/issue1663711
Could you log a separate issue for this problem?
We can definitely solve the String situation by detecting when a
String is too large and automatically breaking it apart at the Java
bytecode level. Breaking apart a method on the other hand sounds much
more complicated (think of all the things your IDE actually does when
you ask it to refactor a method).
The easiest way to get around this is to manually break apart the
offending Python method on your own, and maybe submit a patch back to
the chardet project.

The 2.2 releases do not (there's no distutils either), but trunk does.
