Python Package

Definitions

1. A directory containing Python modules and an __init__.py file (or configured as a namespace package) that groups related code into a single importable unit. Packages can be nested to form hierarchies and are the standard mechanism for organizing and distributing reusable Python code.

   In plain English: A folder of related Python code files bundled together so other programs can easily import and use them.

   Example: "The utils package was getting huge, so we split it into utils.text, utils.dates, and utils.crypto sub-packages."
