Don't bother with a main() function unless you actually need to be
able to use it as a function. Most of the time, it's simplest to just
have the code you want, right there in the file. :) Python isn't C or
Java, and code doesn't have to get wrapped up in functions in order to
exist.
Not (necessarily) a main function, but these days the general recommendation seems to be to use the "if __name__ == '__main__':" construct, so that the file can be used as a module as well as as a script. Even for short simple things that can be helpful when doing things like running tests or extracting docstrings.

it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy."
