import module1&#46;py

That is very useful but thats if it's in a different directory ;)

Also you could just copy it to where Python scripts usually are such as os and sys. Then you can just import it.

i think you were right the first time you just need to know that it doesn't automatically import everything into the current namespace.


# module1&#46;py
def print_stuff()&#58; print('stuff\n')


# main&#46;py - test use of module&#58; module1
import module1
module1&#46;print_stuff() # call print_stuff from the module1 namespace

alternatively:


# main&#46;py - test use of module&#58; module1
from module1 import print_stuff # import print_stuff to current namespace
# from module1 import * # import everything to current namespace
print_stuff()

Howdy, Stranger!
