# Pi.Alert all split into modules
|

# Pi.Alert modules
|
||||
|
||||
I am trying to split this big original file into modules and gives me some nice challanges to solve.
|
||||
Since the original code is all in one file, the original author has taken quite some shortcuts by defining lots of variables as global !!
|
||||
These need to be changed now.
|
||||
|
||||
Here is the main structure
|
||||
The original pilaert.py code is now moved to this new folder and split into different modules.
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|pialert.py | The MAIN program of Pi.Alert|

||||
