I've written a couple of relatively small apps (one or two = .py files). I'm using PyCharm (I love it). I'm curious what the pythonic approach is to creating your own reusable = modules. Any tutorials or high level explanations, or detailed, much = appreciated.=20 For example, I have a small module called valvenumbers.py. It's a family = of functions that we use to do a variety of things with the serial = numbers we attach to some of our products. Now I'm making a little = desktop app using wxpython, and I want to use (import) that module. = Using PyCharm, I have two separate projects in sibling directories. And = there's another separate command line tool that wants to do the same. = Currently, I just place a symlink to the valvenumbers.py, local to the = directory of these apps. This seems like "the quickest thing that could = possibly work", but I'm assuming there's a more pythonic way to approach = this general problem. TIA!
