Based on what we learned in my blog posts before creating a module can be done by writing a python file and import it to your main program (remember that both files have to be in the same directory!).
Imagine you want to use a function that prints a list of your favorite soccer players. And create it like this:
But now you are changing your mind and you think that it is more valuable to print a list of the best all times players. But you are in a hurry, because your soccer game starts in two hours so you don’t want to write the function again anymore. Solution –> import the module to your main program:
Notice the following: The compiler will run through the whole module before it imports the function to the main module. So if you would uncomment the “#my_favoriteplayers(bestones)” in the first module, it would print the first list as well and then print the list from the main module under it.
So in general, I would recommend to not return the function in the module you wan’t to import as it’s probably not the one you want to see in the main module.
