Calling "def" functions from another file.

[frankrentef]

Newbie here....

I'm writing a Python program that has "def" functionality growing in
leaps and bounds. I'm a newbie to Python so be detailed. Is there a
way to create a py file with all the "def's" listed and just call them
from the "program" py file? How would I do this? Say my "def" py
file was named def.py and the program file was named "program.py "

This is what all the modules in the standard library are about.

func.py (in same directory as prog.py or in sys.path directory
----------------
def a(b,c):
return b*c-(b+c)//2

prog.py
------------------
import func
print(func.a(2, 4)) #3.0

# should print 5
