Better explain different aspects of packaging (with testing, linting, formatting and doc)

We base the presentation on a simple tool (with a CLI[1] and TUI[2]) to visualize info from Wikipedia using packages like sys, os, pathlib, argparse and runtime dependencies like Requests and Textual…

• Function calls: namespaces and objects “passed by references”

• Different types of arguments

• Global vs Local variables

• Keywords global, nonlocal, lambda

(The original entry is located in /builds/py-edu-fr/py-edu-fr/books/init/book/structure-reuse-code/functions-again.md, line 16.)

Check standard library

• Small examples from (or just mention) sys, os/shutils, copy, pathlib/glob argparse, math, re, dataclasses, itertools, turtle, functools, unittest, collections, datetime

• https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/stdlib.html

• Mention good alternatives outside of the standard library (pytest, click, requests/urllib3, typing-extensions, python-dateutil/pendulum, fsspec, certifi, idna, …)
