This might be obvious, but no one else mentioned it: the Python
interpreter cannot execute code that it hasn't compiled yet, which is
why the "if __name__ ..." code is always at the end of the

No, this belongs into comments or docs. The contents of this block
are often used for testing or debugging, or for normally executable
code if it makes sense to
Sorry for the wrong implication. I should have said I 'mimicked the
style'.
No, not used to Java at all, and obviously not versed in python either
(do I get points for tcl?). Maxq generates jython scripts and when I
saw the .class files I assumed it was the work of the python compiler

A quick example demonstrates the usage:
C:\code>type temp.py

It checks to see if the file is being run as the "main"

This idiom is for executing the code if you're running t
