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?

    Idk, I guess I should ask why python needs a default function? If I’m running it as a script with commandline invocation I just copy and paste the if main namespace thing from stack overflow and it works as I intended. It also works if I invoke via python my_script.py $args, so I don’t really see why I should philosophically care about how other languages that I’m not using do it.

        I can import my_script2.py into my_script.py it doesn’t run the main method unless I specifically invoke my_script2.main() though.
