How To Create Your Own Modules In Python (Modularization)

Modularizing your code is a pretty easy tool to help clear out your code a bit, and make it much more readable. In this video I show you how to define a few functions, save them in a separate file, and import that file as a module in a separate code, while still being able to access those functions.
To keep the module in ipynb:
jupyter-noteboo...

Dear Andrew, Your video is a very good guide and you deserve a big thank you. But a word of caution to newbies; whenever you are trying to make these changes either refresh the JN or restart it. Don't forget to save your data first!

[@eliorbilow8797]

I'm so used to you're comedic skits that I was surprised when I found this after googling for help. Awesome video. Thanks!

[@Swagsy]

I have a python script and the folder with a specific module but every time I run it, it can't import the module. Where do I have to put it for it to be able to find it?

[@connectingthedots5987]

hey you just helped me understand how to create my own modules from a function. life is easy with guys like you. new python guy here

[@ruifonseca6147]

Hello. I am a newbie in programming world. I was stuck not being able to create and use modules in Jupyter Notebook. Thanks to you I can jump to other subjects in my studies of Python. Thank you a lot!

[@bendalfavero6505]

Something I heard over and over in my programming for engineers class: "I don't understand why it won't work. It worked the other 50 times I copied and pasted it!"

[@2sakuraa2]

More than helpful! less than 10 minutes and you made it so clear! thank you so much for sharing

[@estefaniatapia1546]

You do not know how I've looked for this, thank you so much!!

[@FaizYah]

broooooooo thank you so much!! Ive been looking for this for hours and you just solved my problem in a few minutes!!

[@josephnnodim8244]

This is amazing, especially where you stated that the file has to be converted to .py format. Thank you!

[@SirSteveFury]

Thanks for the video. I wonder why folks can't explain things simply using simple basic code that doesn't involve a simple basic beginner program like passing a couple integer values in and out of a module. Instead everyone puts a very complicated and convoluted code designed for advanced programmers to already recognize. Creating a simple module with just a def that adds a & b then passes it back is so much easier to understand.

[@Swaroop2sky]

Is there any way to do the exactly same thing in Mobile, by using " Pydroid " ?

[@drover7476]

almost spunked when i saw that the goat dotson has programming videos, so eigenvaluable

[@pipertripp]

Cool to see this done in jupyter. I'm a new to python, but have been coding for years, so the concepts are all very familiar. Just learning the python specifics.

[@AndrewDotsonvideos]

Yeah It reminds me of just using structs or classes in C++, but a bit easier in my opinion!

[@diankadroz]

Glorious Andrew,
you are the first programming youtuber I have watched and actually learned something.
You sir, may be why I finish this programming project with pride and honor.
_You_ deserve a medal!
Thank you for existing, now have a glorious day you fine fellow!
Sincerely,
an indebted viewer
(hopefully my subscription and like is enough payment)

[@ABHINAB13]

Thanks Man, for the past 1 hour I have been trying to figure this out.

[@nazmulhasannahid9010]

Thanks, man. I was looking for this and you explained perfectly and exactly what I was looking for.

[@richardaversa7128]

This video was so helpful and saved a lot of time. Thanks!

[@sergioramos3437]

This was the easiest way I've seen of doing this! Thank you

[@Makabaril]

You mentioned possibly Skype tutoring for physics & math in an older video; what do you think the costs would look like?

[@PRASHANTKUMAR-pg4vl]

Thank you for such an awesome explaining video on Modularization of code

[@kimsourtat601]

for those who using anacoda
1. run anacoda prompt : search bar , type anacoda --> run administrators
2. run : activateenvironment-name
3. run: where python
4. now you know the place that you can paste you r code (.py)
5. go to python location that definte in step 3
6. the go to : lib>site-packages and paste your code ( plot_classifier.py ).Now you can run python with your new library ( Ex: from plot_classifier import *)

[@smoothumut]

I gave you thumbs up in the first 8 seconds : ) for a nice, sincere start

[@mikecmw8492]

Is there a way to install these python modules globally?

[@sebastiangarciaacosta5468]

I think that is more reliable creating your module (adding a setup.py file at the same level of the module) rather than put it manually in site-packages.

[@sashacurcic1719]

I'm really enjoying the merch you have shown here.

[@raghusrinivasamurthy6191]

I was searching for this so much!!!!! Thanksssssss!!!!!

[@DrIlyas-sq7pz]

Thank you sir. Can we use more than one file for longer code in a more simple way, like we do in C++ and in latex?

[@preksha5796]

Great Video on Python Module !!! Thank you

[@sonalishinde5104]

hey.....I found it soo useful...thnx for this video...thnx for being there for learners like me...

[@priyadoesdatascience5141]

thanks for the video, but the issue is that if I have a different jupyter file in another directory, it is not going to import the module. It seems like I need to move the module file all the time with new folder

[@guynes2013]

Thank you so much! I'm starting to learning coding with python and I've been trying to figure out how to do exactly this.

[@mauricestraube3308]

Thx for the nice video!
Do you know how to adjust the uploaded python function within the notebook and then be able to access the newly added function?
I encountered issues here not being able add new functions, even if I deleted and reuploaded the .py-file.

[@MikeD-qx1kr]

This was great! So clear. How about a video that explains the same thing but if you work from PyCharm?

[@abanerjee3704]

great work brother....keep it up

[@sergioramos3437]

Are .py files readable in a text editor? In case I forget what functions I put in there or something

[@t.t.cooperphd5389]

I like Atom for a .py IDE when I am not using jupyter, integrates with Github well too.

[@MpumeleloSbusiso]

Bro knows how to explain like brocode my guy he is leggit,youtube aint paying him enough

[@thebigoeuph]

I noticed that you have a copy of Jackson's Electrodynamics. I'm actually taking E&M 1 this fall and wanted to know if you'd recommend Jackson or read Griffiths all the way?

[@AndrewDotsonvideos]

If you're talking about undergrad, definitely griffiths. Jackson will fill you with the urge to punt a squirrel.

[@CurrentElectrical]

This video is going to break the internet- as the template of getting to the point and a fantastic explanation- even for me, the FNG to coding. Thank you. and Sub'd

[@dylanhaymore608]

jagexcache? Hmm... Lol. Love the content btw. Your daily upload pace is quite impressive!

[@imadjabir1678]

Andrew, could you please tell me how to upload the module my_math as .ipynb instead of .py and then import it to another .ipynb file.

[@channamsettyvenkataramaiah4625]

Excellent teaching dude!

[@sergionunez5964]

This was a very helpful video. Thank you so much for do it!

[@omarpasha9855]

I did my first quick overview! Now, I'll start my coding. But, I'll create the module by using text file.

[@jaysimhasindhanoor]

Finally it worked for me , i was searching for this. Thanks a lot :) :)

[@dostarora97]

How did you learn Python? What are some resources which explain by doing example programs

[@AndrewDotsonvideos]

I learned by just trying to finish certain projects. The Clever Programmer is great for very intro-level python!

Question: There's a Quantum Field Theory course available for my final year. Really want to study it. Will it be impossible?

[@mathsmentalabusetohumans8291]

I’m 12 and started heavily at quantum physics at the age of ten you will be fine

[@parteekmandhan7522]

Hi, I am in high school in Australia and I really love physics. Yours videos are very inspiring and insightful. I want to make a research paper in physics in the area of optics. Do you have any experience in optics? If so, could you please suggest me a subject in optics that hasn’t been properly developed yet?

[@AndrewDotsonvideos]

Spontaneous parametric down-conversion is pretty cool

[@parteekmandhan7522]

Andrew Dotson Thanks

[@ebbydavid9536]

why is it when i download asking me the file can harm your computer?

[@Popcorn_and_funny_moments]

would you do more examples please, thank you , you're doing good work

[@rryann088]

Thanks a lot! It was super helpful !

[@sergioramos3437]

Or is there a built-in way to ask python what functions are in there? Or a way you can build it in yourself?

[@natetolbert3671]

~@4:35 CTRL + x is your friend... good vid

[@Patriciovaldivieso]

Very helpful, thanks!
