How To Write A Python Module

A Python module is a file with the .py extension that contains definitions and statements. A function can be defined in a module file like hello.py and then imported and called from another file using the module name. Modules can be organized into packages by placing .py files in a folder with an __init__.py file, allowing the files to be imported as a group using the folder name.

A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements.

The file name is the module


name with the suffix .py

create hello.py then write the following function:

def helloworld():
print "hello"

>>> import hello


>>> hello.helloworld()
'hello'
>>>

To group many .py files put them in a folder. Any folder with an __init__.py is considered a
module by python and you can call them a package

|-HelloModule
|_ __init__.py
|_ hellomodule.py

You can go about with the import statement on your module the usual way.
