Use functions or APIs from external libraries to develop a computer program : Introduction to Modules

The video tutorial explains the difference between modules and packages in Python. A module is a single Python file that can be imported into other files, while a package is a collection of modules. The tutorial demonstrates how to create a custom module, import a function from it, and execute it in another file. It encourages viewers to practice by creating their own modules and importing functions. The tutorial concludes with a preview of the next lesson on creating packages.

What is the primary difference between a module and a package in Python?

• A module is installed using pip, while a package is not.

• A module can only be used in Jupyter notebooks, while a package can be used anywhere.

• A module is a collection of packages, while a package is a single file.

• A module is a single file, while a package is a collection of modules.

Why is it beneficial to separate code into modules?

• To make the code run faster.

• To reduce the number of lines in a single file, making it easier to manage.

• To ensure the code is only accessible to certain users.

• To prevent the code from being executed.

What is the first step in creating a custom module in Python?

• Create a new Python file and define functions or classes in it.

• Download a module template from the internet.

• Install the module using pip.

• Write a script to compile the module.

How can you import a function from a custom module into another Python file?

• Use the command 'load function from module'.

• Use the command 'from module import function'.

• Use the command 'include function from module'.

• Use the command 'import function from module'.

What command is used to run a Python program from the terminal?

• execute program.py

• run program.py

• python program.py

• start program.py
