Also, do y'all call main() in the if block or do you just put the code you want to run in the if block?

I call main() in the if

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I always use

if "__main__" == main:
    __main__()

..and earlier in the code:

def __main__():
    while True:
        pass
main = "__main__"

This helps to prevent people from arbitrarily running my code as a library or executable when I don't went them to.
