As I said, it's probably just me ;) I'm not sure I understand,
however, why calling multiple functions under 'if __name__ ...' will
pollute the namespace if these functions are already defined there?
Eg.
def foo (arg) :
#stuff
return exit_status
def bar (arg) :
#stuff
return exit_status
def main (argv) :
#parse args
#call and do stuff with foo and bar
return exit_status
if __name__ == '__main__' :
import sys
sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
Doesn't this just pollute the namespace with main()?
Surely you should be structuring the code above the test to minimise
namespace pollution.
