Chapter 4

Python Functions, Classes, and

Modules

This chapter covers the following topics:

Python Functions: This section provides an overview of working

with and building Python functions.

Object-Oriented Programming and Python: This section

describes key aspects of using object-oriented programming

techniques.

Python Classes: This section provides an overview of creating and

using Python classes.

Working with Python Modules: This section provides an overview

of creating and using Python modules.

This chapter moves away from the basics introduced in
Chapter 3, “Introduction to Python,” and introduces
Python functions, classes, and modules. Building Python
functions allows for the creation of reusable code and is
the first step toward writing object-oriented code.
Classes are the Python tools used to construct Python
objects and make it easier to produce scalable
applications that are easy to maintain and readable.
Finally, this chapter introduces the wide world of Python
modules and how they can extend the capabilities of
Python and make your job of coding much easier.
