ModuleĀ is a file which contains python functions , global variables etc. It is nothing but .py file which has python executable code / statement. PackageĀ is namespace which contains multiple package/modules. Library It is collection of various packages. There is no difference between package and python library conceptually.

Module is a set of functions, globals and classes that you can import. Package or library is a set of modules.
