2.6.6 Packages: Python Scientific Lecture Notes, Release 2012.3 (Euroscipy 2012)

Python packages allow related modules to be grouped together. The scipy package contains many subpackages for scientific computing tasks like ndimage for image processing. Within ndimage there are modules for filters, morphology operations, and more. Functions can be imported from modules within a package to access its capabilities.

2.6.6 Packages

A directory that contains many modules is called a package. A package is a module with submodules (which can
have submodules themselves, etc.). A special file called __init__.py (which may be empty) tells Python that
the directory is a Python package, from which modules can be imported.
