Interview: Project architecture — senior level

Code Organization

A well-organized Python project makes it easy to navigate, test, and extend the codebase.

Recommended Structure

  • src/ layout: Prevents import issues during development
  • tests/ directory: Mirror the src structure
  • Separation of concerns: Each module should have one clear responsibility
  • __init__.py: Keep minimal — expose public API only
