No, usually the main function is outside the package. The package is a library, and main() *uses* that library, as a client. > coming back to the point. where do I put the following code > if __name__ == "__main__": > main() I would say, "In the main script, obviously :)" But since you're asking it may not be so obvious... It appears that your main script is exec.py - so there should be it. I suppose you run your application this way: exec.py -some -options file.ext (perhaps a bare exec.py is enough) so using the idiom above, inside exec.py you can detect when someone is running it as a script. > I have 5 modules in my package each doing a specific task. > and a file that contains the main() function. the 5 modules and the > exec.py file all are in the same package. if it is a wrong practice > please correct me. exec.py is not a good name, since this is the "public" entry point to your application, and should be more meaningful. Usually it is not inside the package, just uses it. I suggest you look into other Python applications, to see how they are layered. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
