Modules, packages and real projects

Reuse code with modules, install packages with pip, and build real projects.

📖 Key ideas

  1. import math gives you math functions like math.sqrt().
  2. Your own .py file can be imported as a module.
  3. pip install requests installs third-party packages.
  4. Virtual environments (python -m venv venv) keep project packages separate.
  5. Popular uses: web (Django, Flask), data (pandas), AI (scikit-learn), automation (scripts).
💡 Real-life example: Modules are like apps on a phone: install what you need instead of building everything yourself.
