I have written some code, but it's all located in one file. It's sort of annoying to work with now because it's so long. So I'm thinking I should put all the function in a different file and just import them. I'm just not sure about the best way to go about doing this.
Current Code:
import glob, os
import csv as csv
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import sys
def create_list(var):
stuff
def store_table(var):
stuff
def geo_info(var):
stuff
def factor_loads(var):
stuff
def add_loads(var):
stuff
def calc_bypass_stress(var):
a lot of stuff
def calcloads(var):
tons of stuff and calls other functions above
for i in list:
for k in another_list:
calcloads(var)
I'm thinking that I could split it up so the functions that do lookups and create tables are in tables.py; anything that calculates stuff is in calc_stuff.py and I run everything from thehead.py:
tables.py
def create_list(var):
stuff
def store_table(var):
stuff
def geo_info(var):
stuff
def factor_loads(var):
stuff
def add_loads(var):
stuff
calc_stuff.py
def calc_bypass_stress(var):
a lot of stuff
def calcloads(var):
tons of stuff and calls other functions above
thehead.py
import glob, os
import csv as csv
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import sys
from tables import *
from calc_stuff import *
for i in list:
for k in another_list:
calcloads(var)
Some questions:
1) Will this work?
2) Almost all of my functions use something from Pandas, Numpy, etc. Do I need to import those packages inside each of the .py files? Or just at thehead.py?
3) From thehead.py I'm calling a function (calcloads) that is located in calc_stuff.py which uses functions located in tables.py. Should I have kept all functions in one file as opposed to splitting functions up into different files?
