Python Tutorial 6.3 - Package Structure in Python

Welcome to the “Package Structure” tutorial!

Overview

A package is a directory with an __init__.py that groups modules.

Example Layout

myproject/
├── mypackage/
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── mod1.py
│   └── mod2.py
└── main.py

• __init__.py can be empty or expose submodules:

  # mypackage/__init__.py
  from .mod1 import foo
  from .mod2 import bar
  

• Importing:

  from mypackage import foo, bar
  

Key Takeaways

• Use packages to avoid naming conflicts.
• Keep related modules together in a folder.

Happy structuring!
