Packages
✓ It is an encapsulation mechanism to group related modules into a single unit.
✓ The package is nothing but folder or directory which represents collection of Python
modules.
✓ A package can contains sub packages also.

Any folder or directory contains __init__.py file, is considered as a Python package. This
file can be empty.

The main advantages of package statement are


✓ We can resolve naming conflicts
✓ We can identify our components uniquely
✓ It improves modularity of the application

Example 1:
E:\8am>
|-test.py
|-pack1
|-module1.py
|-__init__.py

__init__.py: empty file

module1.py:
def f1():
print("Hello this is from module1 present in pack1")

test.py (version-1):
import pack1.module1
pack1.module1.f1()

test.py (version-2):
from pack1.module1 import f1
f1()
