Creating a Module in Python

Module have the __name__ variable set to the module name.
When a python is called as a script, the __name__ is set to "__main__". This lets you create modules that can also be executed as scripts using the following:

def add(x,y):

return x+y

if __name__ = "__main__"

print(add(1,2))

Importing Modules

To make use of the functions in a module, you'll need to import the module with an import statement.
An import statement is made up of the import keyword along with the name of the module.
In a Python file, this will be declared at the top of the code, under any shebang lines or general comments.

Various possibilties of import:

import modulename
import module1,module2,module3
import module1 as m
import module1 as m1,module2 as m2,module3
from module import member
from module import member1,member2,memebr3
from module import memeber1 as x
from module import *
