00:00 The Modules chapter

00:30 Goals of having modules

04:00 Before modules (a function in a single-file program)

04:34 Creating modules: Separating the above program in to module and executable. (import, from)

05:40 How does Python find the module to be loaded?

07:56 Importing and aliasing module name (as)

11:25 path to load modules from - the module search path

12:30 sys.path the module search path

13:45 Flat project directory structure

14:39 Relative paths (Why is the directory called 'bin'?

16:30 Absolute path and why it is not a good practice

18:45 Back to the relative path and explaining how it works (os.path.join, os.path.abspath, os.path.dirname, file)

24:13 Mentioning modules in directory hierarchy (submodules) but not showing them. Since then, there is already a slide with that example.

24:46 Python modules are compiles .pyc files, pycache directory.

28:30 Caching

30:40 How "import" and "from" work?

31:20 Runtime loading of modules

33:30 When you import a module, will Python find it eventually?

35:13 Conditional loading of modules

37:18 Duplicate importing of functions (pylint)

40:50 Script or library (script or module) (name, main)

47:00 Import the same module multiple times

48:14 Exercises: Convert the earlier solutions to be modules and programs.
