what differentiate between a package and a module in python?

The module is a single python file. A module can import other modules (other python files) as objects. Whereas, a package is the folder/directory where different sub-packages and the modules reside.

 

A python module is created by saving a file with the extension of .py. This file will have classes and functions that are reusable in the code as well as across modules.

 

A python package is created by following the below steps:

 

Create a directory and give a valid name that represents its operation.

Place modules of one kind in this directory.

Create __init__.py file in this directory. This lets python know the directory we created is a package. The contents of this package can be imported across different modules in other packages to reuse the functionality.
