Question

In AWS S3, when you enable versioning, explain what happens when you update a file (i.e. upload a changed version of an already existing file)?

Answer

A: the new version gets stored in your bucket (with a unique random version id) along with the original version. The new version is marked as latest so it will be only one shown when you move the versioning "Hide"/"Show" toggle to "Hide"

^^^ you can only see all the versions in your console if you toggle the version button from "Hide" to "Show" in your bucket

ions from a module can be imported into other modules or into the main module (the collection of variables that you have access to in a script executed at the top level and in calculator mode). A module is a file containing Python definitions and statements. The file name is the module name with the suffix .py appended. Within a module, the module’s name (as a string) is available as the value of the global variable __name__. For instance, use your favorite text editor to create a file called fibo.py i

[Python] How do you import variables declared in another module?

Answer

In the same way you import functions,

On the other hand, if you know what you are doing you can touch a module’s global variables with the same notation used to refer to its functions, modname.itemname .

Question

[Python] In what order are different locations searched when importing a particular module?

Answer

When a module named spam is imported, the interpreter first searches for a built-in module with that name. If not found, it then searches for a file named spam.py in a list of directories given by the variable sys.path .

The Module Search Path¶ When a module named spam is imported, the interpreter first searches for a built-in module with that name. If not found, it then searches for a file named spam.py in a list of directories given by the variable sys.path. sys.path is initialized from these locations: The directory containing the input script (or the current directory when no file is specified).

[Python] What does __init__.py in the directory of a package allow us to do?

Answer

So, that is basically what __init__.py does! It allows you to treat a directory as if it was a python module. Then you can further define imports inside your __init__.py file to make imports more succinct, or you can just leave the file blank.
