Understanding Modules
What is a Module?
In Python, a module is simply a file containing Python code. This could include functions, classes, or variables defined and implemented.
Why Use Modules?
- Maintainability: modules help you organize your code into distinct sections;
- Reusability: write once, use anywhere! You can import and use the module in any other Python script;
- Managing Namespaces: modules prevent the mixing up of names used in different parts of a program.
How to Create a Module
Creating a module in Python is as simple as creating a Python file. Here’s how you can do it:
- Create a Python file: name it, for example, mymodule.py;
- Write some functions: for example, let's define a greeting function.
How to Use a Module
Once you've created a module, you can use it in other Python scripts by using the import statement.
- Import your module: Use the name of the file without the .py extension;
- Call the functions defined in the module:
