Creating a Python Package: An Easy Guide for Beginners

To create a package in Python, you can use the following steps:

1. Create a new directory with the name of your package.

2. Inside the directory, create a new file called __init__.py. This file is used to indicate that the directory should be treated as a Python package.

3. Create new module files (.py) and add them to the package directory

4. Define the functions and variables you want to include in your modules.

5. Use the keyword "def" before the name of each function to define it.

6. Once you are done, you can use the package in another Python script by using the "import" statement, followed by the name of the package and the module you want to import.

For example, if you have created a package called "mypackage" that has a module called "mymodule" with a function called "myfunction()", you would use the following code in another script to import and use it:

import mypackage.mymodule
mypackage.mymodule.myfunction()

You can also use the from keyword to import specific function or variable from the module

from mypackage.mymodule import myfunction
myfunction()

You can also use the as keyword to create a shortened reference to the package.

import mypackage.mymodule as mm
mm.myfunction()

It's important to note that the package and module names should be in lowercase letters and follow the PEP-8 style guide for naming conventions.
