Python Module

What is a Module?

 Consider a module to be the same as a code library.


 A file containing a set of functions you want to include in your application.
 Create a Module

 To create a module just save the code you want in a file


with the file extension .py:
 def greeting(name):
print("Hello, " + name)

 Save this code in a file named mymodule.py


:

Use a Module

 Now we can use the module we just created, by using


the import statement.
 Import the module named mymodule, and call the greeting function:
 import mymodule

mymodule.greeting("Jonathan")
 Note: When using a function from a module, use the
syntax: module_name.function_name.
Variables in Module

 The module can contain functions, as already described, but also variables of all types
(arrays, dictionaries, objects etc):

 Save this code in the file mymodule.py


 person1 = {
"name": "John",
"age": 36,
"country": "Norway"
}
Cont.

 Import the module named mymodule, and access the person1 dictionary:
 import mymodule
a = mymodule.person1["age"]
print(a)
:

Re-naming a Module

 You can create an alias when you import a module, by


using the as keyword
 Create an alias for mymodule called mx:
 import mymodule as mx
a = mx.person1["age"]
print(a)
Import From Module

 You can choose to import only parts from a module, by


using the from keyword
 Import only the person1 dictionary from the module:
 from mymodule import person1

print (person1["age"])
