What is a Python module? #========================== Common answer is "a file containing Python source code?", but I'm questioning whether that's sufficient definition.
How about an importable .pyc or .pyd, with no .py in the picture. That's a module too, no? ** Import Star #==================================== When is import * a good idea? There's all this righteous moralistic hoopla that gets built up against specific idioms, to where eval( ) appears to be fighting for its very existence... Mary wants to keep her little lambda. So I'd rather phrase these in the positive, as in when IS it a good idea... e.g. to use semi-colons between statements. ** Another student question: #========================= Why does all([]) return True by default? Is this a case of half full versus half empty? ** Correcting a misconception #======================== No, docstrings do NOT have to be triple quoted. Kirby
