Anatomy of a module
===================
A Tryton module is a `python module`_ thus it is a directory that contains a
:ref:`__init__.py <topics-modules-init>` file.
A Tryton module must also contain a :ref:`tryton.cfg
<topics-modules-tryton-cfg>` file which is used to define the dependencies
between modules and also lists the :ref:`XML files <topics-modules-xml-files>`
that must be loaded by Tryton.
Usually a module will define views used in the user interface, those views are
described by XML files stored in the :file:`view` directory.
Translations are handled with `po files`_ that sit in the :file:`locale`
directory, one file per language.
Let's continue with :ref:`creating the models <tutorial-module-model>`
