Structuring Your Project -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to Python

By "structure" we mean the decisions you make concerning how your project best meets its objective. We need to consider how to best leverage Python's features to create clean, effective code. In practical terms, "structure" means making clean code whose logic and dependencies are clear as well as how the files and folders are organized in the filesystem. Which functions should go into which modules? How does data flow through the project? What features and functions can be grouped together and isolated? By answering questions like these you can begin to plan, in a broad sense, what your finished product will look like. In this section we take a closer look at Python's module and import systems as they are the central elements to enforcing structure in your project.
