You can now use the .🐍 Extension in Python

Transform your .py files into .🐍 modules

For years now, Python developers have secretly wished they could ditch .py extension to embrace something more… reptilian 🐍. And while Mojo gets to rock the cool .🔥 extension, Python has been stuck in the emoji dark ages.

But guess what? What if I told you that 2025 could be the year of the emoji uprising? While CPython may not officially support emoji file extensions (yet!), the beauty of Python’s import system means we can extend it to handle whatever wild and wonderful file extensions our hearts desire.

In this article, I’ll show you how to extend Python’s import system and finally give your scripts the emoji flair they deserve. Let’s dive in! 🚀

Want to import Python files with emoji extensions? It’s easier than you think! Just install the emojdule package:

pip install emojdule
# Or poetry
poetry add emojdule
# Or uv
uv add emojdule
uv pip install emojdule

And that’s it! 🎉 emojdule automatically hooks into Python’s import system, letting you import files with emoji extensions like it’s no big deal.
