I'm doing a program, and I have a file, which is the main part of the program. What happens is that I have a snippet code for the credits and I would like to put it in another file so as not to have a single very long file, since the snippet has a length considerable. Tell me how to please
You can import other files from the same directory with import .
For example, given the following directory:
src/
├── main.py
└── snippets.py
snippets.py:
A = 2
main.py:
import snippets
print snippets.A
# 2
You can also import only part of snippets with from/import
main.py:
from snippets import A
print A
# 2
Keep in mind that for larger projects, where you have several folders, you should also add a __init__.py file to each folder of the project code, so that python knows that it should treat that folder as a code package. To access another directory you must use the route with the import.
src/
├── snippets/
│ ├── snippet1.py
│ ├── snippet2.py
│ └── __init__.py
├── main.py
└── __init__.py
snippet1.py:
A = 2
main.py:
from snippets import snippet1
print snippet1.A
# 2
Or:
main.py:
from snippets.snippet1 import A
print A
# 2
