 A module is a file that contains code. It defines a group of Python functions or
 other objects, and the name of the module is derived from the name of the file.
-Modules usually contain Python source code, but can also be compiled C or C++
-object files. Compiled modules and Python source modules are used in the same
-way.

-Modules not only group related Python objects together, but also help to avoid
-naming conflicts. You can write a module called ``mymodule`` for your programme
-that defines a function called ``my_func``. In the same programme, you may also
-want to use another module called ``othermodule``, which also defines a
-function called ``my_func``, but does something different from your ``my_func``
-function. Without modules, it would be impossible to use two different functions
-with the same name. With modules, you can refer to the functions
-``mymodule.my_func`` and ``othermodule.my_func`` in your main programme. Using
-the module names ensures that the two ``my_func`` functions are not confused, as
-Python uses so-called namespaces. A namespace is essentially a dictionary of
