Package in Python
=============================================
=>The Function concept is used for Performing some operation and provides code re-
usability within the same program and unable to provide code re-usability across
the programs.
=>The Modules concept is a collection of Variables, Functions and classes and we
can re-use the code across the Programs provided Module name and main program
present in same folder but unable to provide code re-usability across the folders /
drives / enviroments.
=>The Package Concept is a collection of Modules.
=>The purpose of Packages is that to provide code re-usability across the folders /
drives / enviroments.
=>To deal with the package, we need to the learn the following.
a) create a package
b) re-use the package
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
a) create a package:
----------------------------
=>To create a package, we use the following steps.
i) create a Folder
ii) place / write an empty python file called __init__.py (Optional)
iii) place / write the module(s) in the folder where it is considered
as Package Name
--------------
Example:
--------------
bank <-----Package Name
-----------
__init__.py <----Empty Python File (Optional)
simpleint.py <--- Module Name
aop.py-----Module Name
icici1.py---Module Name
welcome.py <--- Module Name
greet.py<---Module names
========================================================
b) re-use the package
---------------------------------
=>To the re-use the modules of the packages across the folders / drives /
enviroments, we have to two approaches. They are
i) By using sys.path.append()
ii) by using PYTHONPATH Environmental Variable Name
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
i) By using sys.path.append()
-------------------------------------
Syntax:
----------- sys.path.append("Absolute Path of Package")
=>sys is pre-defined module
=>path is a pre-defined object of list / variable present in sys module
=>append() is pre-defined function present in path and is used for locating the
package name of python( specify the absolute path)
Example:
-----------------
sys.path.append("D:\\KVR-PYTHON-11am\\PACKAGES\\BANK")
(or)
sys.path.append("D:/KVR-PYTHON-6PM/PACKAGES/BANK")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
ii) by using PYTHONPATH Enviromental Variables:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
=>PYTHONPATH is one of the Enviromental Variable
=>Search for Enviromental Variable
Steps for setting :
------------------------------
Var name : PYTHONPATH
Var Value : D:\\KVR-PYTHON-11am\\PACKAGES\\BANK
The overall path:
PYTHONPATH= D:\\KVR-PYTHON-11am\\PACKAGES\\BANK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
