In our last article, we learned how to organize code into separate files called [modules]. Now, we need to master the tool that makes modules useful: the import statement. This statement is the gateway to accessing code from other files and from Python's vast standard library, allowing you to build powerful applications without reinventing the wheel.

So far, we've been writing all our code in a single Python file. This is fine for small scripts, but as your projects grow, it becomes messy, hard to navigate, and difficult to maintain. The solution is to break your code into multiple files, and in Python, these files are called modules. This article is the first step toward organizing your code like a professional developer.
