no. python is not C. python is interpreted, not compiled, so if you want a function to exist when you call it, you need to define it before you call it. it isn't clunky, it's just how it's done. if you want to define a 'main' function at the top of your script/module, go for it. then you can use this: if __name__ == '__main__': sys.exit(main(*sys.argv[1:]))
