I don't like much the syntax of: if __name__ == '__main__': Some time ago I have read this PEP: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0299/
And why it was refused: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2006-March/062955.html I think the name of the standard main function may be just main(), so there isn't the problem with the import (and *maybe* the problem with multiple Python versions can be ignored with Python 3.0). If a module contains the main(), the main() is executed when the module is run alone. Otherwise you can import the module, with the main() function managed as a normal function.
