There is no such thing, you can start where you like: try to write a simple .py file defining some functions and classes and then using them. Then launch the app by python your_file.py, and it will just work. You will often find a test like if __name__ == '__main__': do_something() __name__ is the variable which contains the name of the module. If the module is being run as python your_module.py, the __name__ becomes '__main__' and the condition of the if statement is satisfied. This is a common method to define a starting point for a python application. Keep in mind that many python modules are intended to be imported by other modules and not to be used as standalone applications, but rather as libraries. As such, they don't have a starting point, and the if __name__ == '__main__': test could be used for instance to start a test suite. francesco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
