Quick Answer
Module: a single .py file. Package: a directory with __init__.py containing multiple modules. Import with import module or from module import name. Python searches sys.path for modules. pip installs third-party packages from PyPI into site-packages. Virtual environments (venv) isolate packages per project. __init__.py can define what the package exposes.
