Python Tutorial 6.2 - Creating Modules in Python

Welcome to the “Creating Modules” tutorial!

Overview

Modules are Python files (.py) that group related code. You can import them elsewhere.

Steps

1. Create a file mymodule.py:

   # mymodule.py
   def greet(name):
       return f"Hello, {name}!"
   

2. Import and use in another script:

   # main.py
   import mymodule
   print(mymodule.greet("Alice"))
   

3. Use aliases:

   from mymodule import greet as hello
   print(hello("Bob"))
   

Key Takeaways

• Organize reusable functions and classes into modules.
• Use import module or from module import name as needed.

Happy coding!
