# Importing Python Modules

You can import any\* python module and/or package into your Ask app. This is because Ask transpiles to Python. You can both import local .py files or modules & packages from the PyPI.

*`* = As long as it's name doesn't conflict with any built-in Ask functions/classes, you have it installed (if it's from the PyPI), and it's compatible with your Python version.`*

## How To

You can import Python modules in the exact same way as you would in Python.

```python
import module
from package import module
import module as name
from package import *

# etc.
```

You can then access the module's/package's functions and other properties with: `[module/package name].[function/property/class/etc.]`
