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 would put my code in a def main(), so that the local names don’t escape into the module scope:

    if __name__ == '__main__':
    def main():
        print('/s')
    main()

    (I didn’t see this one yet here.)

      I’m a little new to Python standards. Is this better or worse than putting the def main(): outside the if statement (but calling main() inside it)

        I intended this an sarcastic example; I think it’s worse than putting the main outside of the branch because of the extra indent-level. It does have an upside that the main() doesn’t exist if you try import this as an module.
