As you gain experience writing code, you’ll eventually work on projects that are so large that keeping all the code in a single file becomes cumbersome.
Instead of writing a single file, you can put related code into separate files called modules. You can put individual modules together like building blocks to create a larger application.
In this video course, you’ll learn how to:
- Create your own modules
- Use modules in another file through the
import
statement - Organize several modules into a package
This video course is part of the Python Basics series, which accompanies Python Basics: A Practical Introduction to Python 3. You can also check out the other Python Basics courses.
Note that you’ll be using IDLE to interact with Python throughout this course.

I want to create modules and packages to get more structure into my programs. I use the init.py way to let the main program find the package or module. Something I am missing because the module I try to import cannot be found.
