Python videos | Python Part 5 - Modules
Posted by Andy Brown on 12 October 2021
The key to writing Python programs is to make effective use of modules (both those built in to Python, and external ones). This tutorial shows you how to import, install, list and use modules.
If you're not a channel member, don't worry - the video will be released publicly after a short period of member exclusivity.
This video has the following accompanying files:
| File name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Useful links.txt | Text file | Useful links to websites |
| Useful modules.png | Image | A list of useful built-in modules |
| Built-in modules.py | Python code | Calculating square root of 2 by importing math |
| Examples of built-in modules.py | Python code | Examples using modules like sys and os |
| Installing modules.py | Python code | Using the imported requests module |
| settings.json | JSON file | Settings file including Code Runner module setting |

Making a video bigger
You can increase the size of your video to make it fill the screen like this:
Play your video (the icons shown won't appear until you do), then click on the full screen icon which appears as shown at its bottom right-hand corner.
When you've finished viewing a video in full screen mode, just press the Esc key to return to normal view.
Improving the quality of a video
To improve the quality of a video, first click on the Settings icon:
Make sure you're playing your video so that the icons shown appear, then click on this gear icon at the bottom right-hand corner.
Choose to change the video quality:
Click on Quality as shown to bring up the submenu.
The higher the number you choose, the better will be your video quality (but the slower the connection speed):
Don't choose the HD option unless you have a fast enough connection speed to support it!
Is your Wise Owl speaking too slowly (or too quickly)? You can also use the Settings menu above to change your playback speed.
