!!! tip
    There are several `__init__.py` files: one in each directory or subdirectory.

    This is what allows importing code from one file into another.

    For example, in `app/main.py` you could have a line like:

    ```
    from app.routers import items
    ```

* The `app` directory contains everything. And it has an empty file `app/__init__.py`, so it is a "Python package" (a collection of "Python modules"): `app`.
