You are probably reading this document online at cnx.org , otherwise known as openstax cnx . As of October 2014, two views of the document are available: an openstax view and a legacy view. In the legacy view, the document is commonly referred to as a module , which is contained in a collection of modules.

This document provides a brief introduction to program organization using scripts, modules, and packages.
Although you won't need this information initially, once your Python programs become larger than a few lines of code, you may want to organize them into scripts , modules , and packages .

This information is being provided at this early stage in the course so that you will know where to find it when you need it.

Financial : Although the Connexions site makes it possible for you to download a PDF file for thismodule at no charge, and also makes it possible for you to purchase a pre-printed version of the PDF file, you should beaware that some of the HTML elements in this module may not translate well into PDF.
I also want you to know that, I receive no financial compensation from the Connexions website even if you purchasethe PDF version of the module.
In the past, unknown individuals have copied my modules from cnx.org, converted them to Kindle books, and placed them for sale on Amazon.com showing me as the author. Ineither receive compensation for those sales nor do I know who does receive compensation. If you purchase such a book, please beaware that it is a copy of a module that is freely available on cnx.org and that it was made and published withoutmy prior knowledge.
Affiliation : I am a professor of Computer Information Technology at Austin Community College in Austin, TX.
