Modules are like libraries.
They let you tap into other people's code and packages.
For example, say there is a file named "mymodule.py" with these contents (between the dashed lines):
---------
def greeting(name):
print("Hello, " + name)
---------
We would then access the module with the code below:
import mymodule
# Hello, John
mymodule.greeting("John")
Here is how to access variables stored in a module:
Filename: mymodule.py:
---------
person1 = {
"name": "John",
"age": 36,
"country": "Norway"
}
---------
How I would use it:
import mymodule
a = mymodule.person1["age"]
#36
print(a)
There are built-in modules. For example, platform
We can display a list of functions in a module like this:
import platform
x = dir(platform)
print(x)
