Imports

DescriptionCode Examples

Importing elements from another Python module makes them available in the current context (usually a script or a REPL-session). This allows for code to be split into several segments to keep them invididually self-contained, reusable and maintainable.

Use case

Make a separate module or elements of a module available in the current context.

Example: Importing a whole Module

In the following example, we import the math-module from _Python_s standard library and access the sin(…)-function and pi therein.

import math

print(math.sin(math.pi))

Example: Importing Elements from a Module

In this example, only the sin(…)-function and pi will be imported and used.

from math import sin, pi

print(sin(pi))
