To round out your exploration of advanced Python skills, you'll import modules, work with built-in modules, and create custom modules and packages. You'll also work with built-in and custom exceptions so your code handles problems gracefully.

Beyond the standard environment that Python® provides are many modules, both built in and external, that can add a great deal of functionality to your program. You can even create your own.

Dealing with exceptions in Python® is a bit like life. With some foresight and careful planning, you can prevent some kinds of problems from happening. But other kinds of problems can't be prevented, and you must deal with them as they arise.
