One common approach is a single module. The overall organization can be imagined this way:

module.py ┣━━ class A: ┃    ┗━━ def method(self): ... ┣━━ class B: ┃    ┗━━ def method(self): ... ┗━━ def function(): ...

This example shows a single module with a number of classes and functions. We'll turn to module design in the Designing a module section, later in this chapter.

A more complex approach is a package of modules, which can be imagined as follows:

package ┣━━ __init__.py ┣━━ module1.py ┃    ┣━━ class A: ┃    ┃    ┗━━ def method(self): ... ┃    ┗━━ def function(): ... ┗━━ module2.py ┗━━ ...

This example shows a single package with two modules. Each module contains ...
