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 use if__name__main__ often when working with AWS Lambda, but I also want to run it locally. Lambda wants to call a function with the params
event
andcontext
. So I would do something like this:def handler(event, context): things return { 'statusCode': 200, 'body': 'Hello from Lambda!' } if __name__ == '__main__': event = {} context = {} response = handler(event, context) print(response)

isn’t that just normal usage? …or, did I just whoosh and you were sarcastically saying that?
It is normal usage. Though personally I’d probably make another “main” function, to avoid declaring a bunch of global variables
Yeah. I like using
main()
that way too. It’s usually just a high-level function that handles globals relevant to running in standalone and calling other functions to do work.indeed.
