---# Python Project Structure & Module Architecture
Design well-organized Python projects with clear module boundaries, explicit public interfaces, and maintainable directory structures. Good organization makes code discoverable and changes predictable.
## When to Use This Skill
- Starting a new Python project from scratch
- Reorganizing an existing codebase for clarity
- Defining module public APIs with `__all__`
- Deciding between flat and nested directory structures
- Determining test file placement strategies
- Creating reusable library packages
## Core Concepts
### 1. Module Cohesion
Group related code that changes together. A module should have a single, clear purpose.
### 2. Explicit Interfaces
Define what's public with `__all__`. Everything not listed is an internal implementation detail.
### 3. Flat Hierarchies
Prefer shallow directory structures. Add depth only for genuine sub-domains.
### 4. Consistent Conventions
