Differentiate between a package and a module in python.

Answer»

The module is a single python FILE. A module can IMPORT other modules (other python files) as objects. WHEREAS, a package is the folder/directory where different sub-packages and the modules reside.

A python module is created by saving a file with the extension of .py. This file will have classes and functions that are reusable in the code as well as across modules.

A python package is created by following the below steps:

  • CREATE a directory and give a valid name that represents its operation.
  • Place modules of one kind in this directory.
  • Create __init__.py file in this directory. This LETS python know the directory we created is a package. The contents of this package can be imported across different modules in other packages to reuse the functionality.
