=== Definitions ===
*[http://docs.python.org/tutorial/modules.html Script] ... "Therefore, if you want to write a somewhat longer program, you are better off using a text editor to prepare the input for the interpreter and running it with that file as input instead. This is known as creating a ''script''."
*[http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html Module] ... "the basic unit of code reusability in Python: a block of code imported by some other code. Three types of modules concern us here: pure Python modules, ..., and packages."
*[http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html pure Python module] ... "a module written in Python and contained in a single .py file ... Sometimes referred to as a “pure module.”
*[http://docs.python.org/distutils/introduction.html package] ... "a module that contains other modules; typically contained in a directory in the filesystem and distinguished from other directories by the presence of a file __init__.py."
