00:00:00,660 --> 00:00:03,380
Hello and welcome to this video.

2
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:08,200
In this video I'll be showing you how to use a module.

3
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:16,290
Once you've created a module you can use the module in any python file.

4
00:00:16,290 --> 00:00:21,260
And the way you do that is by importing the module.

5
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:27,150
So you type in the keyword import followed by the name of the module.

6
00:00:27,630 --> 00:00:38,970
If the module has different types of object you want to access just a specific object inside that module

7
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:47,850
you can represented by using the from keywords so you type in from you specify the module name and then

8
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:52,550
you import what you need from that module.

9
00:00:52,560 --> 00:01:03,510
So this is a module that I created in a previous video is called Salute the P1 contains a function and

10
00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:06,460
it also contains a dictionary.

11
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:15,410
So what I'm gonna do is create another file and try and use this module by using the import keyword

12
00:01:15,450 --> 00:01:17,380
and also the from keyword.

13
00:01:17,390 --> 00:01:19,340
So let me create a new file first.

14
00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:30,500
So right click I'm going you click on python file and I'm going to call this my on this score module

15
00:01:31,310 --> 00:01:32,500
and click OK.

16
00:01:32,960 --> 00:01:36,060
So that's created a new python file for me.

17
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:46,280
So the first method and prints you used to import a module called solute which is this module here I'm

18
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:52,310
going to import the module into this file and to do that you need to add the import statement so you

19
00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:57,360
do import space followed by the name of the module.

20
00:01:57,500 --> 00:02:03,770
My module is called Salute to use the function inside the module.

21
00:02:03,770 --> 00:02:12,110
What I can do is just call the module by its name so I'll say salute dot and then I reference the name

22
00:02:12,170 --> 00:02:14,920
of the function which is C on the score.

23
00:02:15,710 --> 00:02:28,310
Hello and I will passing a variable for the parameter so a person in an argument for the parameter inside

24
00:02:28,850 --> 00:02:30,950
that function.

25
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,320
So before I run this far let's take a look at the module.

26
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:35,900
So this is what the module is.

27
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:42,410
He has this function which is what I am referring to and there is a parameter inside that function code

28
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,500
name.

29
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:49,300
So all I need to do I don't even need to use this print statement here.

30
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,690
I'm just referencing it from this file.

31
00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:59,970
But the only thing I'm doing different is I'm passing in an argument for this name parameter.

32
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:06,150
OK so all I need to do now is just play this file and it'll output.

33
00:03:07,110 --> 00:03:07,900
Hello.

34
00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:09,550
Blue Line.

35
00:03:09,590 --> 00:03:13,140
Click on play you can see here says hello.

36
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:13,690
Blue Line.

37
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:23,960
So this is an example of how you can use a module by importing it into another python file.

38
00:03:24,050 --> 00:03:31,670
You can also access a modules object by using the from keyword.

39
00:03:31,670 --> 00:03:39,920
So what you can do you always do the import at the top so you can save from which is a keyword may specify

40
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,520
the name of the module and then you specify what it is you want to use from the module.

41
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,080
So let's say I want to use the dictionary called fruits.

42
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,770
So I say fruits all right.

43
00:03:53,810 --> 00:03:55,490
So this is the module.

44
00:03:55,490 --> 00:03:57,440
Here you can see I've got a function.

45
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:59,560
I've also got a dictionary called fruit.

46
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040
So that's what I'm referencing in this file.

47
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:05,410
So what I'm gonna do I'm going to comment out.

48
00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:15,910
Line number one so that I know so line number three so that we can see how to use the dictionary from

49
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,220
that module.

50
00:04:18,260 --> 00:04:26,380
So let's say I wanted to access one of the keys from the dictionary inside my module so you can say

51
00:04:26,380 --> 00:04:27,860
this is a key code name.

52
00:04:28,450 --> 00:04:38,950
Well I have to do I'll just come here and can just see print and inside that print function I can reference

53
00:04:39,550 --> 00:04:45,630
the name of the dictionary which is fruits and inside the square bracket.

54
00:04:45,670 --> 00:04:57,040
I just add the name of the key and that should print out the name the value for that key code name.

55
00:04:57,070 --> 00:05:03,240
So if I press the play button you can see he is giving me the value of grapes.

56
00:05:03,260 --> 00:05:11,300
If we go back in to the actual module itself you can see here the dictionary called fruits.

57
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:18,970
I've got a key code name and the value is grapes which is what I have referred to here on line 5.

58
00:05:18,970 --> 00:05:26,620
So there are two ways you can access a module if you want to access the entire module you chose to import

59
00:05:27,130 --> 00:05:28,840
and then followed by the module name.

60
00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:35,590
If you want to just use parts of the module like I've done here on line two you use the from key words

61
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:42,340
so you say from then the name of the module and then you import what it is you need from that module

62
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,340
like have to on here on line five.

63
00:05:45,340 --> 00:05:53,640
So just for reference the fruits which is the dictionary inside that module.

64
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,190
Okay.

65
00:05:54,220 --> 00:05:58,280
So that is how you can use a module.

66
00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:01,290
Once you have created the module.

67
00:06:01,330 --> 00:06:02,560
Thanks for watching.

68
00:06:02,590 --> 00:06:03,240
Bye for now.
