Packages in Python
Packages are a way to organize related modules into directories. They help structure larger projects and avoid name conflicts.
A package is a folder containing Python modules and a special __init__.py file (can be empty in Python 3.3+).
Basic Package Structure
Example structure: my_package/ __init__.py module1.py module2.py
Importing from Packages
__init__.py – Package Initialization
This file runs when the package is imported. Use it to set up imports or variables.
Relative Imports
Inside packages, use . for current, .. for parent.
