A Python file was created to demonstrate each example.

Topics

• function.py
• module.py
• venv.py

function.py

Creating functions.

Executing the command below:

python .\examples\function.py

The result is:

module.py

Importing the "math_module.py".

Using its functions.

Executing the command below:

python .\examples\module.py

The result is:

venv.py

Create a virtual environment, install a package and use it in a module.

Execute the command below to create a folder called 'venv':

python -m venv venv

Press the 'Yes' button inside the popup that shows up inside the VSCode.

The virtual environment will be available in the project root folder.

Run the command below to use it:

.\venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1

The word '(venv)' will be visible in the left side of the current path.

And at the bottom of the VSCode, as well.

Create a file named 'requirements.txt' at the project root folder and type colorama inside of it.

Install the colorama package inside the venv with the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The result will be:

Import colorama inside the math_module.py to write colored messages.

Finally, run the command below:

python .\examples\module.py

The result will be:

Next
