python scripting: What is a script and a module in python?

Question

I am new to python scripting. Can anyone tell me what is the difference between a module and a script in python?

Answer 1

A module is a file containing a set of functions. For example, different datatypes functions are included Suppose this module is just a kind of library. When we talk about C++ library" # include< iostream>" then it means all the algebraic functions are present in this library.

When we talk about "Python Scripts", for example, the script is a string that you manipulate after reading the whole string Similarly a term which is known as Python Interpreter that performs the reading of all the scripts and complies this scripts in bytecode and executes this bytecode to run the program.
