Also, do y’all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

    I still wonder why.

    unless it’s for something that you want to work as an importable module and a standalone tool, then why do you need that?

      The main two reasons that I can think of to include this even when you have no intention of importing this as a library are:

      1. For unit testing you will need to import as a module.
      2. Sometimes I will run a python interactive interpreter and then import my script so that I can do some manual testing without needing to change my main function or if stmt.
