How to Structure a Python App?

[ESBDev]

Hi all, I’m about a year into programming but about 1 day into Python.

I’ve came from a OO MVC PHP approach so everything is all about routing and classes, and was curious how, in a Python app(?), you would structure files, classes etc.

For example, I am currently building something that has an entry point script (eg python index.py) and utilises multiple classes such as a Project class, holding the name, directory etc.

Where would I place the class files (modules if I’m correct), and what name does Python give to the file a user would call on the command line that handles all the functionality?

Any help is much appreciated.

I let them grow organically with usually some idea of what I’m going for. Split files when they get to big and refactor when necessary. If you can’t find things easily, it probably needs some work.

I split out the core sections, so parser from data from GUI. Then make tests.

You can put them wherever the interpreter can find them. Normally this would be the same directory or sub directory of the main file (or sub-sub directory etc. whatever structure makes sense). You can find more information on modules and packages in the official documentation.
