What is Python Module

A Python module is a file containing from math import sqrt, factorial
Python definitions and statements. A # if we simply do "import math", then
module can define functions, classes,
and variables. A module can also # math.sqrt(16) and math.factorial()
include runnable code. # are required.
Grouping related code into a module
print(sqrt(16))
makes the code easier to understand
and use. It also makes the code print(factorial(6))
logically organized.
Import all Names
Create a Python Module The * symbol used with the import
To create a Python module, write the statement is used to import all the
desired code and save that in a file names from a module to a current
with .py extension namespace.
Ex:
Syntax:
# A simple module, calc.py from module_name import *
# importing sqrt() and factorial from the
def add(x, y):
# module math
return (x+y)
from math import *
def subtract(x, y):
return (x-y)
# if we simply do "import math", then
Import module in Python # math.sqrt(16) and math.factorial()
We can import the functions, and
classes defined in a module to another # are required.

print(factorial(6))
When the interpreter encounters an
