They are in different categories. A Python module is a namespace (a 
mapping of names to objects) created by running Python code as a main 
module or by import statements within Python code (or by executing 
import functions within a Python interpreter). A library in general is a 
collection of functions and classes used by multiple applications. A 
Python library is composed of Python modules, packages, and collections 
of such.
