[Tutor] What is a Python "project"?

[Dick Moores]

I tried out Wing IDE Personal 
(<http://wingware.com/wingide-personal>) off and on for 30 days, and 
then, finding it easy to use (probably because it's designed for 
Python), decided to buy it. I'm happy with it, and very pleased with 
the fast response from technical support available by email.

I've never written anything in Python other than single-file scripts. 
WingIDE has the ability to handle "projects", which apparently 
consist of files and "packages". But what is a project? What does a 
project have that can't be put into a single .py file script?

Thanks,

Dick Moores
