Import Module in Python

Import in Python allows code to access functions and variables from other modules. The import statement searches for the module locally by calling the __import__() function, and returns its value. Common ways to import include importing the entire module using import module_name, importing specific items using from module import item1, item2, or importing everything using from module import *. This allows accessing functions and variables directly or through the module without having to specify the module name.

Import module in Python

Import in python is similar to #include header_file in C/C++. Python modules can get access to
code from another module by importing the file/function using import. The import statement is
the most common way of invoking the import machinery, but it is not the only way.

import module_name
When the import is used, it searches for the module initially in the local scope by calling
__import__() function. The value returned by the function is then reflected in the output of the
initial code.

Program 1

import math
print(math.pi)

Output:
3.141592653589793

Program 2

from math import pi


# Note that in the above example,
# we used math.pi. Here we have used
# pi directly.
print(pi)

Output:
3.141592653589793

Program 3

from math import *


print(pi)
print(factorial(6))

Output:
3.141592653589793
