Add materials folders for four tutorials (imports, Thonny, project layouts, memory management)

[realpython-bot]

Adds companion code folders for four tutorials that had no folder in this repo, so each one can offer a "Get Your Code" opt-in. Each folder mirrors the tutorial's current update draft (the maintenance pass waiting to publish).

Folder	Tutorial	Card
absolute-vs-relative-python-imports/	Absolute vs Relative Imports in Python	https://trello.com/c/EAykbP3C
python-thonny/	Thonny: The Beginner-Friendly Python Editor	https://trello.com/c/zlB8I9CN
python-application-layouts/	Python Project Structure: How to Choose the Right Layout	https://trello.com/c/5TSeMBIu
python-memory-management/	Memory Management in Python	https://trello.com/c/wqH8KcI3

What's in each folder

• absolute-vs-relative-python-imports/: the tutorial's project/ tree as two runnable copies, absolute/ and relative/, so readers can compare the import styles (python main.py, python -m package1.module1). Also includes the import-style example as a reference file.

• python-thonny/: the factorial programs, the simplecalculator script in its working version and its deliberately buggy version (the one the reader debugs in Thonny), and a fixed version, with simplecalculator==0.0.4 pinned.

• python-application-layouts/: one project per layout example in the tutorial:

  • statkit (src layout library, fully working with tests)
  • weatherly (flat-layout CLI, using a fake data source and no network calls)
  • portfolio (Django)
  • bloggy (Flask)
  • bookapi (FastAPI)
  • notely (PySide6 GUI)

  Each has its own pyproject.toml with pinned dependencies and its own README.

• python-memory-management/: refcount.py runs the tutorial's reference-counting snippets and prints sys.getrefcount() after each step. The tutorial gains a short pointer to it.

How it was verified

• Every script was run on Python 3.14. Thonny's scripts were also run on 3.8, and the refcount script on 3.12 and 3.13. Outputs match the tutorials.
• python-application-layouts/ projects:
  • statkit, weatherly, bloggy, bookapi and notely: installed into a fresh venv, with all tests passing (notely runs Qt offscreen).
  • portfolio: manage.py check and manage.py test pass.
  • bookapi: also served with uvicorn and queried.
• uvx ruff@0.14.1 format --check and uvx ruff@0.14.1 check with the repo config, and .github/workflows/dircheck.py: all clean.
