The reference is thousands of pages, thus I guess it's much more than thousands of lines ;)

Sage also has pretty robust interfaces to a wide variety of very discipline-specific outside packages, as well as uses them (to varying degrees) "natively" in its Pythonesque syntax. See the list of standard packages. Much of this would be very difficult to use in Python otherwise.
