Sorry, to clarify I heard that when you declare a variable in python
you have to use some sort of standard boiler plate _variable_ however
this has not been my experience using IDLE so is this even true?
I don't know what “some sort of boiler plate _variable_” might mean.
Can you point to someone's actual message saying this, so we can see
what they might be talking about?
Perhaps the OP means:
if __name__ == "__main__":
...
although the "declare a variable" bit has me puzzled.
When a module is imported __name__ is bound to the name of the module,
but when the module is run directly __name__ is bound to "__main__".
