    Study Notes

    Modules and Packages

    • Modules are Python files (.py extension) containing functions, classes, and variables organized for logical relationships.
    • Packages are collections of modules and sub-modules, providing a structured way to organize code.
    • Modularity in OOPs is implemented through modules, allowing related operations to be grouped together into a single file for easy reuse and access.

    Module Creation and Usage

    • Creating a module:

      • A module is like any other Python file, named after the file it's saved as.
      • For example, a module named series.py could contain functions like factorial(), fibonacci(), and exponential_series().

    • Importing a module:

      • Loading a module into another file or module is called importing.
      • It allows the use of the module's functions, classes, and variables.
      • There are three primary ways to import a module:
        • import statement: Imports the entire module.
        • from import statement: Imports specific functions, classes, or variables from a module.
        • from import * statement: Imports all objects from a module (not recommended in larger projects).

    Importing a Complete Module

    • The import statement imports the entire module.
    • Example: import series This line imports the series module, allowing access to its contents using series.function_name().

    Platform Module in Python

    • The platform module provides information about the system on which the program is running.
    • The module provides functions to retrieve information about the device, OS, node, OS version, Python version, etc.
    • The platform module is useful for checking compatibility and hardware specifications.

    platform.platform() Function

    • Returns a detailed string describing the platform, including OS name, release, version, and identifiers.
    • Example:
      • Windows-10-10.0.19041-SP0 (on a Windows 10 system)

    platform.machine() Function

    • Returns the machine type (architecture).
    • Example:
      • x86_64 (for a 64-bit architecture)

    platform.processor() Function

    • Returns the name of the processor.
    • If the information is not available, it may return an empty string.
    • Example:
      • Intel64 Family 6 Model 158 Stepping 10, GenuineIntel

    platform.system() Function

    • Returns the name of the operating system.
    • Example:
      • Windows
      • Linux
      • Darwin (for macOS)

    platform.version() Function

    • Returns the version information of the current operating system.
    • Example:
      • 10.0.19041 (for Windows 10)

    platform.python_implementation() Function

    • Returns the name of the Python implementation being used.
    • Example:
      • CPython
      • PyPy
      • IronPython

    platform.python_version_tuple() Function

    • Returns the current Python version as a tuple, allowing access to major, minor, and patch versions.
    • Example:
      • ('3', '9', '7') (for Python version 3.9.7)

    platform.uname() Function

    • Returns a tuple storing information about the system, node, release, version, machine, and processor.
    • Example:
      • uname_result(system='Windows', node='sag_', release='11', version='10.0.22631', machine='AMD64')

    platform.python_build() Function

    • Returns a tuple storing information about the Python build date and build number as strings.
    • Example:
      • ('tags/v3.12.6:a4a2d2b', 'Sep 6 2024 20:11:23')

    platform.architecture() Function

    • Returns a tuple storing information about the bit architecture and linkage format.
    • The bit architecture specifies the processor's number of bits.
    • The linkage format defines how names are referenced within the program.

    Additional Notes

    • Import the platform module before using its functions.
    • The functions might return empty strings if the information is not available.
    • Use the platform module to gain insights into the environment your program is running in.
    • The module is useful for compatibility checks, hardware-specific code, and debugging.
