[Module Name] Module

[One-sentence description of what this module does and why it exists]

Architecture

[Brief explanation of the module's organization philosophy]

module-name/
├── __init__.py          # [Purpose - e.g., Public API exports]
├── base.py              # [Purpose - e.g., Shared constants and imports]
├── core.py              # [Purpose - e.g., Core functionality]

Modules

base.py (XXX bytes/KB)

  • [Description of what this module provides]
  • Key exports:
    • CONSTANT_NAME - [Purpose]
    • function_name() - [Purpose]

core.py (XXX KB)

  • [Description of core functionality]
  • Key functions:
    • primary_function() - [Purpose and usage]
    • secondary_function() - [Purpose and usage]

utils.py (XXX KB)

  • [Description of utility functions]
  • Key utilities:
    • helper_function() - [Purpose]
    • validation_function() - [Purpose]

Public API

The [module-name] module exports a clean public API:

from [module_name] import (
    # Main functions
    primary_function,
    secondary_function,

    # Utilities
    helper_function,
    validation_function,

    # Constants
    IMPORTANT_CONSTANT,
)

Backwards Compatibility

[Explanation of how old imports continue to work, or note if this is a new module]

Example:

# Old code still works
from [old_module] import primary_function

# New code can use modular imports
from [module_name].core import primary_function

All existing imports continue to work without changes.

Benefits

  1. Separation of Concerns: [How responsibilities are divided]
  2. Maintainability: [Why it's easier to maintain]
  3. Testability: [How it improves testing]
  4. Backwards Compatible: [If applicable - how old code continues to work]
  5. Scalability: [How it supports future growth]

Module Dependencies

core.py
  ├── utils.py (helper functions)
  └── base.py (constants, logging)

submodule/implementation.py
  ├── core.py (main functionality)
  └── utils.py (validation)

Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from [module_name] import primary_function

# Example usage
result = primary_function(arg1, arg2)

Advanced Usage

from [module_name].core import CoreClass
from [module_name].utils import helper_function

# Example of advanced usage
instance = CoreClass(config)
processed = helper_function(instance.data)

Testing

Run the test suite to verify the module:

# Run all module tests
pytest tests/test_[module_name].py -v

# Run specific test
pytest tests/test_[module_name].py::test_function_name -v

This verifies:

  • [What aspect is tested]
  • [What aspect is tested]
  • [What aspect is tested]

Migration Guide

For new code:

# Use focused imports for clarity
from [module_name].core import primary_function
from [module_name].utils import helper_function

For existing code:

# Old imports continue to work (if backwards compatible)
from [old_module] import primary_function

Configuration

Variable Required Default Description
CONFIG_VAR Yes - [Purpose]
OPTIONAL_VAR No value [Purpose]

Example .env:

CONFIG_VAR=value
OPTIONAL_VAR=custom_value
