Python applications are typically defined using only folders and files, but this STRUCTURE can become complex as applications become larger and PERHAPS involve auto-generated files, JavaScript for WEB applications, and so on. A Visual Studio project helps manage this complexity.

The project (a .pyproj file) identifies the entire source and content files associated with your project, contains build information for each file, maintains the information to integrate with source-control systems, and helps you ORGANIZE your application into LOGICAL components.
