How is Python code organized?
Let's talk a little bit about how Python code is organized. In this section, we will start to enter the proverbial rabbit hole and introduce more technical names and concepts.
Starting with the basics, how is Python code organized? Of course, you write your code into files. When you save a file with the extension .py, that file is said to be a Python module.
If you are on Windows or macOS, which typically hide file extensions from the user, we recommend that you change the configuration so that you can see the complete names of the files. This is not strictly a requirement, only a suggestion that may come in handy when discerning files from each other.
It would be impractical to save all the code that it is required for software to work within one single file. That solution works for scripts, which are usually not longer than a few hundred lines (and often they are shorter than that).
