Modules

A module basically allows you to logically organize your programming code. It is similar to any other Python program. They are needed in scenarios where we need only a bit of code to be imported instead of the entire program. A module can be a combination of one or multiple functions classes, and many more. We will use a couple of inbuilt functions, which are a part of the Python library. Also, wherever needed, we will create our own modules.

The following example code showcases the structure of modules:

    #myprogram.py 
    ### EXAMPLE PYTHON MODULE    # Define some variables:    numberone = 1    age = 78    # define some functions    def printhello():     print "hello"    def timesfour(input):     print input * 4    # define a class    class house: def __init__(self): ...
