Import User-Created Python Modules (additional files to organize code) into main.py in web editor

Hi Ian,

This is what I do when I want to create and include new libraries, adapted for Python:

1. Open your main Python algo
2. Click Add New Library in the left-hand column
3. Click the Create a New Library link in the bottom-right corner
4. Paste your library class code into this (or multiple) file, ideally renaming them away from main.py
5. Go back to your main Python algo
6. Again click Add New Library but this time select your new library

The library files will now appear inside your project but they will still be linked to your library. This is good in case you have multiple algos sharing the same library - any changes to the library files will propagate across to all other algos.

Thanks a lot Douglas!!

By playing with the Algorithm Wizard 2.0 I've discovered that this is quite straightforward, modules added are listed as additional tabs and imported in the standard way:

Keep code modular and import into main.py (if using Python) with: "from module import class/function as class/function" Omit the .py on the end of the module. I didn't do this the first time and thus couldn't successfully import. Noob mistake

Bonus, the documentation mentions creating virtual folders to organize code first paragraph here:

That looks like:

Create a folder for projects by adding "Title/" in front of the file name in the IDE. Don't include the quotes. All projects with the same title will end up in a virtual folder by that title, allowing for better organization.

Both of the above are going to go a long way for me, personally, in keeping the code readible and maintainable
