Python Packages

Learn how Python packages organize modules into folders.

A package is a folder that contains Python modules. Packages help you organize larger projects.

Example Structure

game/
  __init__.py
  level/
    __init__.py
    start.py

Importing from a Package

import game.level.start

game.level.start.select_difficulty("easy")

You can also import the module directly:

from game.level import start
start.select_difficulty("easy")

Notes

• __init__.py marks a folder as a package.

• Python searches for packages using sys.path.
