Managing a static website involves manually handling content, structure, and files without the use of databases or server-side scripting.

Internet and the web has become an integral part of our lives today.

Drupal is a free and open-source content-management framework that can be customized/changes and tweaked to make simple blog type website or complex web applications.

This type of URL does not convey any meaning to either the user of is useful for search engine, instead of these if we have something like https://www.opensourcecook.in/blog/post/iot/what-smart-device

The above URL clearly indicated that the it is a "blog post" with main topic "IoT" and with discussion about "What are smart Device".

Python also comes with it set of libraries which can be used for different set of purpose. Having the knowledge of the list of libraries can help our efforts in coding and writing better and efficient code (as discussed in previous post about libraries).

In general a simple way is to write this code as functions and reuse them in your program.

In the field of computing programmers and developers observed that a lot of commonly required code is re-written again and again by people all over in the field of computing. So some decided to pack these pieces of code in pack of single/multiple files organized and categorized for different presuppose.
