Python equivalent of EE ‘require’

Python’s Import System: Ditching EE’s ‘require’ the Python Way

So, you’re making the jump from ExpressionEngine (EE) to Python, huh? Awesome! But let’s be real, that require thing in EE? Yeah, that’s gonna need a translation. In EE, require was your go-to for pulling in and running another file. Python, though? It’s got a different, dare I say better, way of handling things with its import system. Think of it as require all grown up. This isn’t just about swapping one command for another; it’s about embracing a more organized and frankly, more powerful way to structure your code. Let’s dive in, shall we?

The Lowdown on Python Imports

At its heart, Python’s import statement is all about grabbing code from another module. What’s a module? Just a file packed with Python goodies – definitions, statements, the whole shebang. Functions, classes, variables… even runnable code can live in these modules.

The simplest way to bring a module into your project is this:
