The video tutorial explains the basics of creating and using Python modules. It starts with an introduction to module creation, followed by a step-by-step guide on how to create a module by moving a function into a new Python file. The tutorial then demonstrates how to use the module by importing it and its functions into another file. It also covers different ways to import functions and emphasizes the importance of using meaningful names for modules.
