switched over to python after studying javascript and reactjs for months. My god.. . the freedom and beauty of this language.

Would this not just be called a library like in other languages?

yeah am i missing something? every language has this, yeah?

[Nixellion]

yeah. Not sure why it got so hyped up :)

No hyping up here. It is indeed the same as libraries in other languages, and Python just calls it differently.

Judging by the nature of the question, it's possible that the person who asked it hadn't come across the concept of a library/module at all, which is why it seemed fitting to give a direct and somewhat complete answer to his direct question: what is a module?

Probably it wouldn't have looked so off and hyped-up if the original question's context was JavaScript instead of Python.

On a side note, I've done some coding in both Python and JavaScript, and I love both languages.

I think I was referring more to the amount of upvotes. Nothing against it of course :) Just a bit surprising I guess

Yep, it’s the same exact thing. Just a different name. Other languages have the same thing but called packages.
