\section{Python modules}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Modules}
  \begin{itemize}
      \item Organize your code
      \item Collect similar functionality
      \item Functions, classes, constants, etc.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Modules}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Define variables, functions and classes in a file with a
    \texttt{.py} extension
  \item This file becomes a module!
  \item File name should be valid variable name
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Modules \ldots}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The \typ{import} keyword ``loads'' a module
  \item One can also use:
    \mbox{\typ{from module import name1, name2}}\\
    where \typ{name1} etc. are names in the module, \typ{module}
  \item \typ{from module import *} \ --- imports everything from module,
    \alert{use only in interactive mode}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Note on module file names}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Should start with a letter or underscore
  \item Can use \typ{\_} (underscore) and numbers
  \item No \typ{.} allowed
  \item No spaces or special characters
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Test}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item \typ{1\_script.py}
  \item \typ{script\_1.py}
  \item \typ{one11.py}
  \item \typ{\_one11.py}
  \item \typ{one script.py}
  \item \typ{one,script;xxx.py}
  \item \typ{one.two.py}
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Modules: example}
  \begin{lstlisting}
# --- fib.py ---
some_var = 1
def fib(n):
    """Print Fibonacci series up to n.
    """
    a, b = 0, 1
    while b &lt; n:
        print(b, end=' ')
        a, b = b, a+b
# EOF
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Modules: example}
  \begin{lstlisting}
&gt;&gt;&gt; import fib
&gt;&gt;&gt; fib.fib(10)
1 1 2 3 5 8
&gt;&gt;&gt; fib.some_var
1
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Python path}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item In IPython type the following
  \end{itemize}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    import sys
    sys.path
  \end{lstlisting}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item List of locations where python searches for a module
  \item \texttt{import sys} -- searches for file \texttt{sys.py} or
    dir \texttt{sys} in all these locations
  \item Modules can be in any one of the locations
  \item Current working directory is one of the locations
  \item Can also set \texttt{PYTHONPATH} env var
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Running a module}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Let us say we want to run some code in \typ{fib.py} so we get:
  \end{itemize}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    $ python fib.py
    1 1 2 3 5 8
  \end{lstlisting} %$

\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Modules: Running a module}
  \begin{lstlisting}
# --- fib.py ---
some_var = 1
def fib(n):
    """Print Fibonacci series up to n.
    """
    a, b = 0, 1
    while b &lt; n:
        print(b, end=' ')
        a, b = b, a+b

fib(10)
# EOF
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Modules: example}
  \begin{lstlisting}
&gt;&gt;&gt; import fib
1 1 2 3 5 8
\end{lstlisting}

\begin{itemize}
\item So the code is called even when we import the module
\item We do not want this!
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Using \texttt{\_\_name\_\_}}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    import fib
  \end{lstlisting}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item The import is successful
  \item But \typ{fib(10)}, gets run
    \pause
  \item Add it to the following \texttt{if} block
  \end{itemize}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        fib(10)
  \end{lstlisting}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Now the script runs properly
  \item As well as the import works; the code is not executed
  \item \texttt{\_\_name\_\_} is local to every module and is equal
    to \texttt{'\_\_main\_\_'} only when the file is run as a script.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}


\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Modules: using \typ{\_\_name\_\_}}
  \vspace*{-1ex}
  \begin{lstlisting}
# --- fib.py ---
def fib(n):
    """Print Fibonacci series up to n.
    """
    a, b = 0, 1
    while b &lt; n:
        print(b, end=' ')
        a, b = b, a+b

print(__name__)
if __name__ == '__main__':
    fib(10)
# EOF
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Modules: using \typ{\_\_name\_\_}}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    &gt;&gt;&gt; import fib
  \end{lstlisting}
  Try this:
  \begin{lstlisting}
    $ python fib.py
  \end{lstlisting} %$
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Stand-alone scripts}
Consider a file \texttt{f.py}:
\footnotesize
\begin{lstlisting}
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""Module level documentation."""
# First line tells the shell that it should use Python
# to interpret the code in the file.
def f():
    print "f"

# Check if we are running standalone or as module.
# When imported, __name__ will not be '__main__'
if __name__ == '__main__':
    # This is not executed when f.py is imported.
    f()
\end{lstlisting}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{Standard library}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item Operating system interface: \typ{os}, \typ{os.path}
  \item System, Command line arguments: \typ{sys}
  \item Regular expressions: \typ{re}
  \item Math: \typ{math}, \typ{random}
  \item Internet access: \typ{urllib}, \typ{smtplib}
  \item Data compression: \typ{zlib}, \typ{gzip}, \typ{bz2},
    \typ{zipfile}, and \typ{tarfile}
  \item Unit testing: \typ{doctest} and \typ{unittest}
  \item And a whole lot more!
  \item Check out the Python Library reference:
    \url{http://docs.python.org/lib/lib.html}
  \end{itemize}
