Python Modules & Packages - Practice Questions 2026
Course Description
Mastering Python’s modular system is the bridge between writing simple scripts and building scalable, professional software. This comprehensive practice exam course is specifically designed to validate your knowledge and prepare you for real-world development challenges. Whether you are aiming for a Python certification or preparing for a technical interview, these practice questions provide the rigorous testing environment you need.
Why Serious Learners Choose These Practice Exams
Serious learners understand that watching tutorials is not enough; true mastery comes from testing your limits. Our exams are crafted to go beyond syntax, forcing you to think about how Python handles namespaces, package distribution, and the search path. By engaging with these questions, you identify your knowledge gaps before they impact your projects or professional reputation.
Course Structure
The curriculum is divided into six progressive stages to ensure a logical learning path:
Basics / Foundations: Focuses on the fundamental import statement, the difference between a script and a module, and how Python executes a file when it is imported.
Core Concepts: Covers the use of the from ... import syntax, aliasing with the as keyword, and understanding the built-in dir() function to inspect module contents.
Intermediate Concepts: Dives into the structure of packages, the role of __init__ .py files, and managing sub-packages within a larger directory tree.
Advanced Concepts: Explores complex topics such as relative vs. absolute imports, modifying sys .path, and understanding the __name__ == "__main__" idiom in depth.
Real-world Scenarios: Challenges you with debugging circular imports, handling versioning conflicts, and organizing large-scale Python applications.
Mixed Revision / Final Test: A comprehensive exam that blends all levels of difficulty to simulate a live certification environment and test your overall retention.
Sample Questions
QUESTION 1
What is the primary purpose of the __init__ .py file in a Python package directory?
It is a mandatory file that must contain the version number of the package.
It marks the directory as a Python package and can execute initialization code.
It serves as a private module that cannot be accessed by the user.
It is used to store the metadata for the Python Package Index (PyPI).
It is required to make the module executable from the command line.
CORRECT ANSWER: Option 2
CORRECT ANSWER EXPLANATION: In Python, the presence of an __init__ .py file tells the interpreter that the directory should be treated as a package. This allows you to import modules from that directory. It can also be used to initialize package-level variables or perform setup tasks when the package is first imported.
WRONG ANSWERS EXPLANATION:
Option 1: While you can put a version number in it, it is not mandatory for that purpose.
Option 3: This file is not "private"; it is the first thing executed when a package is imported.
Option 4: Metadata for PyPI is typically handled by setup .py or pyproject .toml.
Option 5: Making a module executable is typically done by defining a __main__ .py file or using a if __name__ == "__main__" block in a script.
QUESTION 2
If you have a module named utils .py and you use the statement from utils import calculate as calc, how should you call the function calculate?
utils .calculate()
utils .calc()
calculate()
calc()
utils .calculate .calc()
CORRECT ANSWER: Option 4
CORRECT ANSWER EXPLANATION: When you use the from ... import ... as syntax, you are importing a specific name into the local namespace and renaming it. Once renamed to calc, the original name calculate and the parent module name utils are not used to call the function in the current scope.
WRONG ANSWERS EXPLANATION:
Option 1: You cannot use the module prefix because utils was not imported as an object.
Option 2: Since utils was not imported as an independent object, this will result in a NameError.
Option 3: The original name calculate is shadowed/replaced by the alias calc.
Option 5: This is invalid syntax and does not follow Python’s attribute access rules.
