Creating Python Files and
Variables
Python Files
Python files (or modules) are a way to organize and reuse
code. They are simply text files with a .py extension, and
can be run from the command line or imported into other
Python programs.
Creating a Python File
To create a Python file, you'll need to:
1. Open a text editor (such as Sublime Text, Atom, or
Notepad)
2. Write your Python code
3. Save the file with a .py extension
For example, you might create a file called hello.py with
the following code:
print("Hello, world!")
To run the file, open a command prompt or terminal
window, navigate to the directory where the file is saved,
and enter the name of the file (including
the .py extension).
Importing a Python File
To import a Python file into another program, you'll need
to use the import statement, followed by the name of the
file (without the .py extension). For example:
import hello
