I really don't understand what relevance you think that has to writing correct 
Python programs. Yes, Python files are, indeed, files. But the correct way to 
write Python programs in multiple Python files is to organize them into modules 
and packages and use Python's import mechanism to make them reference each 
other. Please read the tutorial:
