Question

When the interpreter encounters an import statement, it imports the module if the module is present in the search path.

True
False

Answer 1

The statement is true; the interpreter imports the module with an import statement if it's in the search path.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the interpreter encounters an import statement, it does indeed import the module if the module is present in the search path. This statement is True.

When a Python script runs, the interpreter checks the module's presence in the current directory, environment variable PYTHONPATH, and the installation-dependent default directory, in this order. If it finds the module, it will import it, otherwise, it will throw an ImportError.
