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
.pyextension). For example:
import hello
This will import the hello file, and you can access its functions
and variables using the dot notation.
