dependency

A dependency in a Python project is an external Python package that must be added to the Python environment. Use the uv add command or manually add the dependency to the pyproject.toml file to include in the Python environment. A dependency can also be defined in a Python script using the “script” declaration in the file.

package

A Python package is a way of organizing and structuring Python code by grouping related modules (Python files) into directories which are typically located in a src directory. This allows developers to efficiently manage larger codebases, avoid naming conflicts, and reuse code across multiple projects.
