• Module refers to a file containing Python Statements

and definitions.
• We use modules to break down large programs into
small manageable and organized files.
Introduction to • A module can define functions, classes and variables.
Modules • These files have a .py extension and can be imported
into other Python scripts.
• Python has a large standard library that provides many
useful modules, such as math, random, and datetime.

Python has several built-in modules that can be used to

perform various tasks. These modules are pre-installed
with Python and can be imported into your code using
the import statement. Here are some commonly used
built-in modules in Python:
Using Built-in math - provides mathematical functions like sqrt(), sin(),
cos(), etc.
Modules random - generates random numbers and sequences.
datetime - provides classes for working with dates and
times.
os - provides a way of using operating system dependent
functionality like reading or writing to the file system.

 To create your own module in Python, you simply need to write
a Python file with the .py extension containing the functions or
variables you want to include in the module.
 For example, let's say you want to create a module called
"math_operations" that contains functions for basic
mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division. You would create a new file called
"math_operations.py" and define the functions within it.
 Once you have defined your functions, you can import the
Creating Your module into your Python script using the import statement. For
Own Module example, if you want to use the addition function from the
math_operations module, you would write:
 import math_operations
 You can then call the addition function using the following
syntax:
 result = math_operations.addition(2, 3)
 This will assign the value of 5 to the variable "result".

 In Python, a package is a way to

organize related modules. It allows
you to group together modules that
have similar functionality and make
them easier to manage. Packages
can contain other packages, as well

Introduction as modules and even sub-packages.

 One of the benefits of using

to Packages packages is that it helps to avoid

naming conflicts. By placing related
modules in a package, you can give
them a common namespace, which
makes it less likely that you will
accidentally use the same name for
two different things.
 In Python, modules and packages are used to organize code into reusable
and sharable components. Importing these modules and packages into
your code is a simple process that can be done in a few different ways.

for building organized, collaborative,
and scalable Python applications.
